MURRAY RIVER FLOOD PEAK by AIRCRAFT 4, Waikerie to Walker Flat, as high as it gets! 

Thanks for the appreciation mate

Thanks mate. More to come in the future and they can only get better.

Glad you enjoyed

Thanks, no worries.

Thanks for the encouragement mate. Yeah early morning, long flight, smooth air and the white noise of the motor humming away sent him to sleep. I was talking to myself for atleast half an hr.

Yeah I can’t get over the volume of water that has been flowing into the state. It got to a point where what was flowing in each day was more than what SA house holds use in a year.

Thanks Pete, was great to such an event from above and capture it.

Would have been interesting before the locks and barrages. I assume it was seasonal, and the season length would vary a lot. Would be great to go back 100years

@@SKYHILLMIKE sure would

Haha gold. Yeah flying keeps me awake very well. It’s the drive home that can be hard.

@@SKYHILLMIKE I've done some lessons but quickly found that I enjoyed looking out the window rather than flying. The world is too interesting from above.

Thanks, I plan on doing a flight once levels have dropped to normal. And do a comparison video

Thanks, yeah I was going to that lower section the same day, but found an issue with my plane which ment I couldn’t do the next flight. I plan on doing a flight when the levels are back to normal and comparing to the flood footage. I’m assuming some of the back water will take awhile to dry out.

Thanks for the compliment. What do you fly and from what field. I’d love to drop into so fields and meet others and seem some planes. The wife’s getting a lot better, I love doing the slips. Normally set up glide approach and a bit on the high side, go full flap once I know I’ll make the strip and side slip the rest of the height away.

@@SKYHILLMIKE I fly a kitplane called a skydart, a pusher tandem with a 912 in it. It isn't a bush plane but I land pretty short, not as short as you but for a 100kt cruise at around 15ltr an hour, I'm happy. I'm hangared at Callington. There is a video my ex-brother inlaw put on RU-vid called skydart flying with Ralf if you want a look. Your videos are excellent, multiple cameras, informative and cute with your kids nodding off! My daughter only indulged me with a few flights, not interested at all....

Thanks, If I’m not working I will be there with the family. I won’t be able to fly in at this stages as I’m currently needing to do some fabric work on the plane before I can fly again unfortunately. I want to attend any flying I can fly to.

Haha, Even my talking didn’t wake him. We saw the sunrise that day while we were prepping the plane

I’d love a 4 seat plane, I’d be doing camping trips away all the time with the family but 4 seater cost so much to maintain and be licensed for. Probably cheaper to own 2 planes like mine, look forward to when my son flys.

@@SKYHILLMIKE As long as he stays awake! Oh well, there is always autopilot. I used to fly from Adelaide Airport to Woomera for work in a twin engine 8? Seater. Once he got up to height, pilot would read the paper and I'm sure he nodded off on many occasions. Perfectly safe though; he set an alarm to wake him in time to commence decent to Woomera Airport! 😨😬
