    Not sure I’m understanding - are you stuck in Bendigo due to weather?

    No.... I couldn't leave Moorabbin until the fog lifted. 2 hours after I planned to. After the fog lifted, the weather was awesome.

    Yeah loads of fog this morning. Pic taken from the start of the Murray heading east. Blanket all the way, although Renmark airport was in a clear patch. Sat there for an hour in -2C waiting for the ambulance….

    Bloody Hell!
    Is that AVGAS?

    I might have to rethink my plan of buying an aircraft.
    When I worked as a refueller at Parafield, for several years it was pegged at 80c / litre and never moved.

    Not to mention my aircraft sometimes seemed to get filled up for free…

    How far does 75l get you in the plane?

    Depends on the plane, but this one was 2.3 hours and about 300+km

    Did you try turning it off and then turning it back on again?

    25l / 100km - cheaper to take the Ferrari!

    Money and speed are not the motivation.....but you're absolutely right.

    And that's just the fuel.....doesn't include the plane rental.

    Worth every cent IMO

    I WAS joking... like anything, there are pluses and minuses. I’m still cheesed that we don’t have ‘Jetson - style’ flying cars that I was PROMISED when I was a kid!

    I realise it was tongue in cheek, but you were still right. Driving is always less appealing these days because you're constantly looking over your shoulder.

    I'm with you on the jetsons.

    I still really enjoy the 308 when I get into the hills... highway is just a misery these days. Lucky I have some nice roads pretty much on my doorstep.

    I really enjoy the 308 too, but there's always part of the drive where I wonder why I bother. By the time I get home I'm always happy though.
