We head for Rosedale, to "Tiger Tours"

Edith won a 30 Minute flight, Darcy, 15 minutes and Geoff purchased a 15 minute flight and we all were looking forward to the experience.
The weather predicted was showers, they stopped while we were at the field.

Our pilot, Jake shows where we will be going.

Edith is ready to go first.

The "Tiger" is immaculate, just like it is fresh off the production line.

How to clamber aboard.

Helmet necessary.

After the flight.

While Edith was flying, Darcy tried on the lovely Stampe.

The Stampe is gorgeous.

Strapped in.

Darcy enjoys a steep turn at the end of a low pass.

Geoff is big enough to see over the cowling.

What a great morning, it was SOOO good to see the beautiful aircraft and meet the guys, they obviously love their aircraft and sharing the flying experience with us altitude-challenged people. We went to the Sale RSL club for a pleasant lunch, during which, the rain came - we had great weather for our flights, a really excellent experience.
Cheers, Geoff:)

Some models do not like travelling fast on the ground.

and they trip over their own wheels

Then co-operate and spectacular flight takes place.

Only to chuck a tantrum when having to land.

Sorry Kim and David.
