During the last week or two in Perth, Scott was able to have a bit of fun in the aircraft. The first two photos show Scott in a formation with 22 aircraft, displaying the
Thunderbird.
Here we see him having his final flight in the PC9, where he was able to have a solo flight and have a bit of fun. I was home this day and so he spent a bit of time, showing off, I mean flying above our house. When he arrived back at the base he was greeted by a group of students who were there to give him his send off present - a shower of raw eggs and flour. Shows how much they loved him!
The twelve... or eleven... or ten apostles?
There isn't much to see in Kimba, except our newly married friends Alison and Jason (I worked with Alison in Tamworth).
Jason manages about 30 thousand acres of farm land, where they plant and harvest wheat, oats and more. They even have sheep! Scott and I learnt a lot from our visit and we were fascinated by the huge machinery they get to use. One thing we learnt is that farming is not what it used to be. These machines are primarily controlled by computers, they have CD players, air conditioning and air cushioned seats - who wouldn't want to be a farmer? Not me.
