 Touch and go RW36 YPFT Polo Flat I navigated to within 4nm using the COM NDB but couldn't see the airport. Had to consult the GPS Nearest page to find the airport.(:  Lake Eucumbene west of Cooma  Entering downwind for RW6 at YCRG Corryong  Crosswind approach for RW3 YMER Merimbula  Touch down (1 wheel). |

Time for Leg 1 of the Rally! Joan the Tiger Moth isn't too fond of CW takeoffs, but she made it just the same.  Couldn't resist mate! She was just beggin!   I spy with my little eye a certain airport. Can you name it?  Final on RWY 5 to Moruya  A fair touchdown  And...done! Overall an enjoyable flight, but my girl is just getting started!  |

Chris,
You should be able to use the + and - keys in FSX. In FS9 the mouse scroll wheel does the same. I can never remember which mouse direction does which.

my bird will have a "drink" too,....think not a beer  Did you know that in Europe, alcohol was initially used in avgas as an "anti-knock agent" for increased engine performance? Some avgas variations still use this, so in a way, your bird may be having a beer after all! |

 A short treatment in the beauty parlour - she needs some fresh stuff to make feel her good..  .. then off we go for leg #3  Following the coast and 180 degree inbound course to MCO VOR 117.5  A short twilight..  .. with a "touch & go" at Mallacootas active runway.  Point Hicks lighthouse was built on the point in 1887/8 and commenced operation in 1890. With 37 metres, it is the tallest lighthouse on Australia's mainland. Its light characteristic is a double white flash every ten seconds, emitted from a focal plane height of 56 metres above sea level.  A night landing at destination - hope not for grazing kangaroo's.. Well, soon "Stubby o'clock". Hope jazzthom left some!! |

hey Urs!
can't wait to have our nightly baerbecue with you and our afterparty in the fuselage of my bird, cause its space enough in the cargoroom for a dozen of persons and some didgeridoo players....
btw: I passed the lighthouse in the red sunlight of the beautiful upcoming sunset and was impressed about the height of it, but didn't know it is the tallest here....
and: you have a great scenery on your pc!
