leg 3

so after loading the bombshells with toilet paper and filling our fuel tanks its up again and back to the rallye....
ask Urs for the details,....I ony can tell you that with full load and tanks, the B25 is a little tricky to get her up in the air,...but we cetrtainly did it...

enjoy my scroll down pics....

we are full to the ceiling, but still some boxes left over

B25 heavy,.....like a dance on ice.....

we got a radio call that there is a salt digging crew near the Wave Hill Cattle Creek Rd who ran out of toilet paper,...so this is just the best reason to try it out, if we could land that "bomb"....

that's been fun!!!!! a few boxes don't count in the end.....

after a loooong unspectacular ride,....Tennant Creek

running to fast makes us to do a little sight seeing.....

back to the airport RWY 07

ATC calls another aircraft coming in on final RWY 07

could this be Urs on the radio??? okay lets stop at the end of the runway to give space for his landing....

oh,...seems to be busy,...we have to hurry up, the next GAAR guy 's coming in in his Maule....

the usual shake hands and over to Urs' bird....

where the hell did they find these lxury boxes?

Urs! tell us, how this can be true???

a wonderful place to stay for a while...............

It has been a year since I did any photos and I forgot everything, even where all my old GAAR photos are ?? so it was worth trying again on my visit to "The Alice".

I hope it works.

No one saw it, I know because there is no screen shot.

GAAR 2020 Leg#3 Wave Hill to Tennant Creek

As you can see, we are preparing our B-25's for the onward flight to Tennant Creek and load the last boxes of toilet paper to trop. We have therefore successfully completed our toilet paper first aid order.

We draw a straight line on the flight cards and come to the end: Maximum take-off weight (19t), about 1hr 20min flight time and burn about 250 US gallons of aviation fuel.

Finally a cup of coffee in the tent..

.. and then: gentlemen, start your engines!

The residents of Wave Hill can really celebrate and love the barley, malt and hop drink!
No wonder, there is no such a razzmatazz every day!

So I reach my take off position..

.. and set engine power!

You get used to it..

Rotate.. WOW, pulling takes strength..

.. and goodbye. Thank you!

I'm heading straight to Tennant Creek.. and below me the "Blue Lagoon" salt pan passes by.

Cattle stations here were only possible thanks to this river!
The Victoria River.. he is the longest permanent river in the Northern Territory and flows into the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf in no man's land!
