Essendon Tower and Lima Xray Hotel, Sierra Victor Sierra is approaching Albert Park Lake
also 1500 we don't have the Warrior in sight.
Sierra Victor Sierra 12 o'clock at 1 mile, southern tip of the Albert Park Lake is the
Warrior, let me know when you get him in sight.
Looking, Sierra Victor Sierra.
Going to introduce a special guest to the channel today, this is Andrew, hi everyone,
say hi to YouTube, hi YouTube.
Andrew's flown down all the way from Singapore especially to fly with me today which is really
nice so that was great, he's obviously got some other things going on but this is the
main reason.
It was worth it as well.
Andrew's down for a couple of days and so one of the best flights you can do in Melbourne
is one I've done a couple of times before, the Melbourne City Orbits.
So we're going to go up, have a look around Melbourne, hopefully get some shots into the
MCG as well because tomorrow is Grand Final Day.
Nice to look at the stadium, yeah I can't wait.
And then we'll come back down the coast we're going to go past Moorabbin and fly down to
Carrum the inbound reporting point in the South and then come back and land before this
cold front comes through.
There's a bit of a storm prediceted in probably the next hour or two.
If you're ready, let's jump in, let's go let's do it.

One other thing that you'll notice as well is that this isn't, it's not Tango Delta Sierra,
it's not the plane that we normally fly.
That's in maintenance at the moment getting ready for the trip to Longreach, just having
a bit of a spruce up to get it all ready, so instead we're in this one, Sierra Victor
Sierra.
Moorabbin Tower Sierra Victor Sierra ready 31 left upwind departure.
Sierra Victor Sierra cleared for take off.
Cleared for take off Sierra Victor Sierra.
Alright good so we're cleared onto the runway.
You all good to go Andrew?
All good.
Hands and feet clear.
Yes.
We'll go full power, just line her up nice and straight, so full power.
Fuel flow is good, keep it straight, good.
70 knots we'll rotate so we'll go up here.
Few bumps just down on the ground because it's windy down here.
Now it gets a little bit busy for me here so what I'll tell you, so we're heading towards
the city, yeah, heading towards Albert Park and then I'm going to be taking to Essendon
Tower, ok, and then once we get in to the orbits of the city then it's a lot calmer.
So just at this point I might, probably won't talk to you for the next couple of minutes
so if you're all good.
Dead zone, first 10,000 feet.
Yeah.
There's another plane trying to do the same thing as us, somewhere nearby.
Lima Xray Hotel which way did you want to go?
Right hand would be preferable Lima Xray Hotel.
Lima Xray Hotel cleared right city orbit 1500.
Cleared right hand city orbit 1500 Lima Xray Hotel.
Sierra Victor Sierra 12 o'clock at 1 mile southern tip of the Albert Park Lake is the
Warrior, let me know when you get him in sight.
Looking, Sierra Victor Sierra.
Just do an orbit here, just to get that other traffic out of the way.
Sierra Victor Sierra cleared two right city orbits 1500 what was your aircraft type?
We're an SR20 and two city orbits 1500 Sierra Victor Sierra.
Sierra Victor Sierra thanks you're now well behind the Warrior, he's just approaching
the Bolte.
Did you see him?
No I couldn't see him so the best thing to do, knowing we're behind him is just to do
an orbit give ourselves a little bit of space.
So he'll be over Bolte and he'll be going around the city as well.
We're going to do two laps.
It's so cool that they let us do this.
It's really nice to be able to get clearance to do this, so we'll turn right now around
over the top of Docklands.
Go just over the North of the city.
Sierra Victor Sierra control services terminated.
Sierra Victor Sierra.
St Kilda beach down there isn't it to the right, yeah, so Albert Park.
That's it.
Then Brighton Beach is just down this way I think.
I need to fly us past Carrum so I'll keep going down just for another minute or two,
and then turn us around to the left, and then I'll need to call Moorabbin Tower just when
we get to that point.
