While setting up for kiting, we had a Visit from the boys in their Hercules - with a few low level bog laps ha ha at Cottesloe beach. Awesome and very cool to see up close :)

My immediate thoughts were..


Must be one of the guys gettin hitched, or



They spotted a few Pointers at Swanborne and needed a second look



Then dissapeared mysteriously in this photo ha ha

Was a great show in deed, they flew about 20m right above our heads while we were setting up in Pinnas.

Then around 5:30, 3 RAC choppers heading south side by side flew over me while I was kiting, I reckon they were not much more than 10 meters above my kite which had 30m lines, slightly stressful...

I was kinda hoping it was the governments radical shark culling "Attack" plan :)

Thats a nice view!! Haha

Tom Cruise was filming over cottesloe

Funny how you said it was "some boys" flying over in their Hercules. I was teaching a very cool girl to kite last week. I asked her what she did for a living. She said she was in Air Force. Oh, I said...what do you do? She is a pilot, and flies the Hercules. Classic! She was tiny too. She could handle a kite straight away. Very capable young woman.

I once gave a lift to a chick who had broken down on the way to kitestock, she was a RAAF pilot, super cute as well

Haa yes - When I was a trainer, I trained Australias first pre and post pregnancy airforce Pilot - they had no idea what to do with her as prior, no one had ever been pregnant flying before - male obviously...

I cant figure out why they feel the need to do the 30second "Hangtime test"

At 20,000 ft I guess it will save you if hangin outside the cockpit window ha ha

He's cheating - there's a wind deflection door infront of him. (It's one of those Airbus-built tansports, innit?) .

Be careful when you sign up for "Red Eye" airfare deals hey
