    Calling all pilots! What is it?

    Wow!

    This morning and yesterday morning, just after 10am - a plane - mono winged has been flying low over my gaff, and now circling above!! We buzz out, it's so awesome!!! We wave madly at him!

    I want to thank the pilot for providing us a buzz!

    I didn't grab the serial number and have googled, but I can't find out what it is!

    But I don't really know enough!

    White mono winged, with Red stars underneath, sounds grunty as!!! You can definately hear him coming!! COOL!

    Achievement is not always success while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

    No he flys really low, can hear him for ages, and we come running out, then he does a semi circle above us!

    BUT, there are quite a few out this way that practise areobatics, usually around this time! He may have been miles away practising and going back to the airport! Might do a search!

    Actually looking, it could be a yak? I'll have to look again, I noticed the cockpit looked a bit different.
    Hopefully he flys over again on Monday, and I'll grab the serial!

    When I got back to NP aerodrome one evening about 2 years ago, I was fortunate enough to be offered the rear seat in Brett Emeny's Yak 52 when the team was doing a formation aerobatic practice session. Bloody good buzz!
