A different kind of ride ...

I had the opportunity to do some travelling with the family recently.  We used a Cirrus SR22 from the Richmond Flying Club.  I hadn't flown a Cirrus until just recently but it's a comfortable and safe way to travel!  It was the first time I took my daughters flying.  They didn't like it much at first but they soon relaxed and fell asleep.  By the end of the holiday they seemed to be loving it.
Our trip to the Gold Coast was a bit longer than planned - no one had forecast the Category 2 cyclone type weather that kept us there for a few extra days!  While we had the chance, I took my brothers for a fly around the Gold Coast.  I had forgotten how nice it is up there.

The Rebel has been getting a few minor upgrades while I've had a break from the aerobatics but it's time to get back into it now!


My brother Ashley, always happy to go for a fly.
