Layne goes flying - Part 1
Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 4:03 amToday i went on an excursion to Tyabb Airport, TO FLY A PLANE!!!!! First we went to the Old Aeroplane country museum (Forgot to get pictures 
) which is at the airport who restore vintage warbirds they had a P-40F Warhawk they are restoring (originally Cattle Crusher or something from 44th Sq), multiple T-6 Harvards, T-28 Trojan from U.S Navy, Dehavilland Vampire (getting restored), Tiger Moth and some more which are all original because they try t keep the originality which is their main purpose and all are flyable once restored!!!
I got to fly the either Cessna 152 or gazelle ultralight aircraft, i went into the Cessna 152 (because i love the plane). I got controls once we where 1,000 feet in the air. I did some turns got to use the rudder a bit (i was in pilots seat
) and elevator stuff. Half way trhough the flight the instructor asked if i wanted to do a Wing Over but i chickened out Which i wish i hadn't done 
It was really good and i got to see a submarine ate the docks ;D Didn't get to actually take off and land but i did the approach and i did the rudder input for landing and takeoff
I only got pictures of my mates flying and the aircraft around + one my mate took of me landing, didn't get an in the cockpit (too busy flying) any way have a look 
the big hanger in the background is the museum
Shots of my mate doing flight control inspection (same cessna i went in) and some taxing shots (non involve me)
