Richard's flight in the Nanchang

Richard was given a gift certificate for a plane ride in the Nanchang.  We received the call this morning to say it was a perfect day for the flight.

The flight left from the Cranbourn Airfield along Dalrymple Road.

There was a bit of maintenance to attend to before the flight.

Cockpit all uncovered and a little bit more checking to do.

Richard couldn't stop smiling, he had a wonderful time.
