Mountains to coast in late spring Australia
Yesterday was a such a nice day that we decided a trip to the coast for fisn'chipswas in order. Leaving Mt Beauty a straight climb up to 6500ft to clear our local Mt Bogong was in order and gently down hill to the coast at Orbost, left turn and 45nm to Mallacoota for a coffee stop. We decided to go another 42 miles along the coast in such great weather to Merimbula for lunch. We returned the the aircraft to find a 20kt gusting 25 kt sea breeze staight down the strip - a very short take off! Then returned to Mt Beauty at 8500ft to avoid mechanical turbulence. Strange to have such warm weather and still a fair bit of snow around. A great day out in the mighty kitfox! (and the first with the new t3 tailwheel - wow, what comfort!)
cheers
