PREFLIGHT
“Are you not entertained?” says Maximus Decimus Meridius in the movie Gladiator to the crowded arena…
Looking through this edition, I feel the same way. There has been so much going on in aviation. From airshows to fly-ins and happenings that, along with a huge range of articles in this proverbial bumper edition, if you’re not entertained now, it might be you. Just saying.
For the rivet counters out there, this will be an edition for the ages. We’ve got detailed articles on multiple aircraft – both new and historic. We hope you enjoy those features, be sure to let us know. There’s also a lot of really good and interesting safety advice and experiences coming from the RAAus team that is worth diving into. After all, it might just save your life.
Like so many southerners, my flying activities of late have been quashed by the arrival of winter proper and I’m getting itchy feet to start another adventure. This time we will be going “Over the Top” from the Gulf Country to the Kimberley, via Arnhem Land, as we revisit some favourite places. We’d love to hear your tips and suggestions for must see and stay places across the top. Along with these suggestions, keep your stories, story ideas and pictures coming to editor@sportpilot.net.au, we love them.
I wish you all clear skies, a tailwind and safe flying.
