Thread: Low flying.

  1. #1

    Low flying.

    Coming up River View Rd into Huntly this afternoon in the Pajero - I was looking out the drivers window looking at the river and commenting to my son how low it looked....when suddenly I was looking at a 4 engine aeroplane out my window! Not looking up,it was damn near level with my eyes! It went up the river,lifted for the two bridges and went down again....I never saw it again,it must of carried on down the Waikato River at a low level,we saw it turn to follow the river.I've only seen a big plane like this that low when they were doing some sort of grid mapping in the '90's.Anyway,it was a cool sight to see.

    Yeah? Low flying plane , eh? Level with your widows ?

    Yeah, right. Admit it, you've been getting big air on that thing again, haven't you. It's withdrawal symptoms, that's what it is.

    When y' going to fix the DT230 ? It's only a bearing, PLENTY of room in the lounge for it. Y' can put some newspaper down to cover the carpet, do it while she's out for a day, be done and finished by the time she gets back, she'll never know.

    You seen my lock up? Being a security minded biker from the '70's,the bikes went in first,you would only know they were there if I pointed them out.The garage is actualy built,it went up last week...now the unit just needs to be gibbed,painted etc.Another month,then shift the crap in.Should have it going for summer.I have a month off,and no bikes!
