It's really sunny. It is! Really sunny. School holidays junior pilot has the day off school
we've decided the only thing to do is to go and find another regional
airport find a regional bakery to try some baked goods and just get out of
melbourne it's the first time we can get out of melbourne in months a long time a long time
can you hear me okay uh it's a bit it's a bit quiet
it's getting busy now because all the flights are coming back again three two six seven passing two
thousand five hundred contact departures one two nine and a decimal four three two
six seven and two thousand five hundred one two nine decimal four echoing silly
and enter bottom right good so we're squawking three two six seven so one two nine four
and enter perfect so that sticks it in there and we're all good to go
just bring that
departures echo yankee zulu passing two thousand five hundred climbing five thousand becky inky's
really the purchase g'day you're identified is that your intended uh final altitude
uh a firm echo yankee silly thank you okay just confirm you'll be
maintaining five thousand visual pay for five
okay leveling off at 5 000 feet we don't need to go any higher today yeah okay
you can see our time so this is our time 38 minutes until we get to arrows
if we weren't flying today what do you reckon we would have done nothing nothing yeah probably
nothing ps4 maybe yeah we would have played on the playstation you're right it's just such a
beautiful day today i'm glad i'm really glad we came out yeah the big question is though what
are you going to get at the bakery sandwich sort of thing maybe i'd like something sweet as well
though oh yeah we need to get something sweet yeah you're going to a country bakery you have
to get something sweet you can't not get something sweet that would just be weird i love how i call
it a sandwich not a sandwich but what should it be m-w-i-d-g sandwich sandwich yes it is i say
pomegranate sometimes with an m instead of an badminton oh bad yeah
why'd you keep adding g's and m's into words i thought it was badminton i thought that's how you
and it's aquatic it's aquatic it's aquatic a duck
will the plane turn for us that's the question no
well if it doesn't something's wrong yeah but i'm pretty sure
we'll go ahead and cancel eiffer
the runway should be sort of like that so you see that big green area in front of us
i reckon it's there but it's always the hardest thing we're flying to airports you've never
been to before is finding the airport yeah you know with the gps the plane's obviously taking
and i'm going to fly us on to what i hope is the runway
the arawaka traffic echo yankee zulu is one zero miles to the south inbound which is passing 3500
on descent i'm gonna do a straight in approach runway zero one yarawaka traffic oh i wonder if
it's there so see those do you see that line of white sort of houses with the brown behind it i
think it's just in front of that yeah well good traffic echo yankee zoo is joining a five mile
final straight in for runway zero one yarawaka uh look does that look like a runway ahead of us
good job us expert runway finders make sure there's no cows on the runway
that was nice that was nice you like that one yeah yeah i was quite happy with that one actually
it is i don't know don't turn left there taxi has arrived
so we've booked a taxi and the taxis turned up
in the wrong location in the wrong location come on why are you walking so slow
hey
we've got sandwiches from the local bakery salad sandwich for me
you're eating ham salad sandwich for you you can't go to a regional bakery
and not get pudding caramel slice and a mars bar slice as well
just a quick survey in the comments as well did you call it pudding or
dessert or sorry there's a spider spider pudding or dessert it's pudding it is
pudding oh there's so many spiders on me did we sit in a bad place they're eating meat
just planning our route home today we flew up ifr to yarawanga today but there are a
few delays coming out in moorabbin because it was quite busy so i think we'll just go back visual
on the way home it's pretty nice day straight shot 15 minutes and then we'll be home where's
the bite on your leg you did get bitten by a spider didn't you no that was just me picking
that was you picking your leg we could have sat at home just doing nothing today and like
playing playstation and just being lazy bums but it's actually really nice to get out and see
australia again now especially because lockdown is over here in melbourne this is the furthest we've
been from our homes in months in fact we can see new south wales new south wales is just across the
bridge there yeah that's new south wales just over there the lake in front of us right now
is oh what's it called we are so bad at this sometimes we should have looked up what the name
no the fort this is the foreshore it's not called lake foreshore this is the forester of the lake
ready sweetie yeah
up with departure climbing 4 500 to the south yarrawaka all right full power
as we go through this layer i'm thinking if we can get above the height of those clouds yeah it'll be
nice yeah okay i think i've been bitten as well look yeah by those spiders i think the moral to
that story is that we could have quite easily just sat at home today and played playstation yeah not
done very much but instead and especially now that lockdown's over here in melbourne i just i really
want to i want to get out more i want us to get out more i want to encourage you to get out more
as well especially if you're here in australia but we've been locked up for so long for 18 months
it's nice to actually get out and see the world again what's best the caramel slicer on mars
