Australia 2014/2015

Blue mountains close to Sydney.

This winter we spent in Australia, Sydney and North. Here some highlights.

No adventure flying, just relax and stay in the warm weather. T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. We took over the C172 with glass cockpit in Bankstown from Smith Aviation, a recommendable plane.
