[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 311929, member: 6786"] Got my license early 80s in California, and used to tour there a lot in single engine Pipers (flying the Grand Canyon was great before they changed the rules). Converted to aussie license (Moorabbin based), and did some great aussie trips (Ayres Rock, Mt Isa, Cattle Stations, Karumba, Dunk Island, Whitsundays). Took mum to Tassie to visit elder brother. Trip down was island hopping, with a stop at Flinders Island, however trip back via King Island and the Otways was forced to go "VFR On Top" as cloud was low and 8/8. With a single engine Piper Lance, I wanted max glide range and radio time just in case. Had to go to Portland to get down through cloud, then flew the coast back to Moorabbin. Mum sure was glad to see land as she thought I was flying to Antarctica. Had to give it all up when kids arrived, but still occasionally get up with mates. Great times! [/QUOTE]
