Ohh dear Dr, did I hear you DOWNGRADING to VFR today? ![Evil](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/evil.gif)
"XXX sartime for arrival Tindal, bla bla bla", I didn't know you even knew what a Sartime was,
.
What height were you at anyway? Strong westerlies around today! I had 65kts at FL180 at one point.
And after today, if I hear one more person ask for a ride report and a request to change level, I'm going to strangle someone,
. It was a challenge to squeeze in a radio call in amongst all that (due high and low sectors being combined).

Yes, not being HF equipped, I entered the cone of silence (and boy was it quiet!) about 100 nm from Isa and re-emerged prior to descent into Tindal.
I was at 10k - pushing a 15 - 20 kt headwind.

This was taken west of Longreach in May 2006 by a Grazier and Lame.
I was there at the time. The patterns were amazing. Our thoughts were that a couple of Mil jets dogfighting, might have caused it.

Out of interest does anyone have any time in the mighty Navion? Apparently they hold over 400lts of fuel???

FTDK - I suspect them be wave bars - given the closeness / height, probably shearwave at a guess... thermic lower down?
Can't say I have ever seen anything like it before.

It was a long time ago! These days I only remember the 4 killers: 1) stratus cloud; 2) CBs; 3) icing and 4) mountain waves!

Desert Flower , it is my grandfathers first aircraft. When I was a young man learning to fly I wrote to the (now owner) and he very nicely sent me a large poster of it. I will get a picture of it and post shortly. I have been looking through my my grandfathers Aviation things which I now have but only found the flight manual to his next aircraft , an Aztec 'D' which is also still around Queensland I believe. I have some earlier pictures of it before she was painted red , I'll track them down , they're very 70's taken at Camden. ![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
