Father’s Day
I had a great day yesterday. I was given some shirts, a diary, Turkish delight and musk lollies. After breakfast we went to Temora, home of the famous Temora Aviation Museum.
Temora has the philosophy that all its exhibits must be not only capable of flying but are flown regularly. They have approx 6 flying days a year where more than half their planes are flown. These are not big aerobatic events, but the planes are put through their paces on a small field close to the crowd. These guyswant their planes to be still flying in 50 years.
Yesterday they were flying their Sabre for the first time in public, such a great plane. They also had a visiting FA 18 Hornet. The hornet performed a “Power Display”, man that thing was amazing. They seem to fly it like a rally driver drives a car. They point the nose in the direction they want to go then floor it, the more tail slide the better!
