Smittys 'nonbike' ride yesterday

Postby Smitty » Sun May 14, 2006 10:03 pm

the family had problems choosing my last birthday pressie
so they chose sumfing different

a flight around Melbourne...in a seaplane :shock:
departing from Williamstown in front of where we have coffee
Its a 50 min flight covering a lot of territory
and
a damn sight quicker than the bike
(also no chance of losing the licence!)

great flying..nice and still (no bumps)
an afternoon ride I can recommend..... :D

I am sure the Vic members will recognize the landmarks


cheers


Smitty :cool:

Plane would have been a bit slow for you after the 12 ?

thanks T

skydive? ummmm....nope

2 things I will never do
jump out of a plane .......with just a bit of fabric to stop me going splat
or
off a bridge ...with a rubber band around the ankles :roll:
but
strap me in a plane, race car,glider or helicopter
and I am fine :D
