Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2007 12:10 pmTook these about 3 weeks ago, thought they might be of some interest here. Aircraft is ZK-FVA which some of our members will certainly be familiar with.
The mighty Grumman trainer!
Lining up on 03 at Ardmore.
Not a very good photo, but it shows the panel decently.
Arrival at Thames. If you happen to land short, there are some oxidation ponds to arrest your fall.
...are those birds?
Fortunately we didn't hit the birds, although they did cause a moment of some concern when we took off again a while later.
Now, if you were going to own a 172, wouldn't you at least have an interesting paint scheme on it?
A vision of ruggedness; this Grumman Super Ag-Cat appears to have had some after market modifications done to it as well. The caption behind the cockpit reads "Greasy bellied money sucker"
...mind you, -DEA ranks quite highly in the ruggedness stakes too by the looks of it.
That's it; probably will have more photos to post in future when I have time.
