Sydney, NSW, Australia
36 hours after getting into the Taxi in Oslo, I stepped out of another Taxi at O’Connel street in Sydney. Hard to sleep on the plane, but otherwise OK. I saw 4 moives and read Cisco books the rest of the time. Nice culmulus clouds over the outback, in Sydney it’s partly clouded and around 25 degree – Nice.
My harness and bag actually arrived on time this time, usually the harness never get on the same plane as me.

Weather yesterday was good, Bjørn Hammer and me had our turn as instructors. Bjørn and Francis showed up for, but there was tailwind at all the training sites. Bjørn Hammer offered to lend me his old Avian Amour, and we drove to Sundvollen. Lots of people there, but since we lost some time looking for a training hill for the students we got off a little too late, and got an extended sled ride to the bottom. The wind turned SW, and it was a little turbulent in front of start.

Still we got in the air, my last real flight was 3 months ago towing at Trøgstad.

Some more stuff added to the site, old pictures, articles, guestbook, etc from the old server.

A few sites worth checking out for winter flying is Erik the flying dutchman’s diary, and Mike’s Australian adventure (British pilot). And of course check in here again when I’m in Oz for your daily dose of flying reports from thermal heaven!

It’s been quiet on these pages lately. I have been working most of the time, and have only flown the training gliders a few times while intructing in the bunny hill at Årvoll on Oslo.
The rest of the guys have been quite active in great weather earlier this fall, check out the pictures in the album.

I’ve ordered my new Litespeed, and Moyes promised to have it ready mid December when I’m ready to fly in Sydney. I’ll be leaving Oslo on the 28/11, and will do some technical training as part of my work on the Cisco CCIE. After a few weeks of studying I’ll pick up my glider and head inland to where the cloudstreets are born. I’m thinking of going to Manilla first, then I’ll pick up Andreas and Gordon in Sydney Chrismas day. We’ll fly the comps in Deniliquin and Hay, and I will do Bogong as well, before I have to go back to work on the 29/1.
