I love how my little aeroplane just does this sort of stuff.

Southbound, staying low to stay out of the wind. Nice GAMI spread so running nicely.

On the way home next day..now up high.

Linda enjoying her Spa treatment as we slip along at FL170.

The 300 club again today. How efficient is the Legacy.

Paul Bennet in action

A high flyer too

Check the Wx.

Hope it rains soon.

A beautiful day for a fly. Up and back for the day. The airshow was fab, the markets also great. I hope you all got to go flying too.

Lovely ride

Sitting pretty

Beautiful day..

 

Headwinds coming home but cool and smooth. That is a requirement with the boss on board..lol.

A little ducking in the arvo coming home.

VH-ZYA ready to go.

I had a support crew of family and a couple of good mates who excelled in getting these wonderful shots.

Many thanks to Stu and Pete, I now have a wonderful collection of high quality shots of the day.

A day to remember forever–First Flight.

Getting organised.

Underway for my first flight and the start of my test flying.

Double thumbs up after my first flight.

The plane flew and handled absolutely beautifully; just like other Legacy’s I have been lucky enough to fly.

Our youngest daughter was at work and not very happy about missing this absolutely fabulous day.

Cracker day

Taking our eldest grandson for a lap.
Two cushions under, and one behind him and he is comfortable and secure.

Bryton loves his rides in the Legacy, regular fan of some gentleman aeros too. Good fun.
