At the winery meeting our pax – cold, overcast but flyable :) #
Hmmm – cloud is lower than I thought & winds are kinda light – this should give the pilot a challenge :) #
They just launched http://tweetphoto.com/16454079 #
Waiting at Memorial – very light winds (almost none) – may land here http://myloc.me/5qK09 #
Change of plans – waiting a bit further up the road – joys of a light wind day :) http://myloc.me/5qLcb #
On this day in 1903, a Kiwi flew first – if only someone had taken a bloody photo or put it in the newspaper, it'd be official – D'OH! #

At the shed & it's super foggy – well, I *think* I'm at the shed :) :) :) http://myloc.me/5bWUd #
We're on a weather hold waiting for this fog to bugger off :) #
Up on the hills looking down into the valley – still very thick http://myloc.me/5c0xA #
Fog's slowly lifting so we're going to give our pax breakfast before we fly then fly once it's burned off #
Sitting at "Yarra Flats Billabongs" waiting to find out where the pilot is targeting today http://myloc.me/5c81y #
All done – late finish due to this morning's fog #
