Malaysian friend, Teo, came to Melbourne to help set up his daughter's home. He rang me to last night arrange for a flight around the Bay area. I contacted Tri Star and hired their G1000 equipped Cessna 182. The plane is only used for commercial operation and so we had to hire a charter pilot as well. I ended up back seating the flight....
We were going to do a left hand orbit around Melbourne city but at Albert Park lLke Geoff put a call in to Essendon and we got told to wait OCTA. There were a bit of traffic in play around the area and the airspace was rather busy.
Teo decided to nick out of there without doing the city orbit and he tracked us to Philip Island, French Island and back to Moorabbin. Nothing spectacular ty me as I have done this....hundreds of times!
Still it was a good day to get out there in bright blue sky.
Yeah... we went out to Springvale for Pho as well. Talked about a few things... he might place his C182 to Moorabbin from KL as he anticipates staying in Melbourne a bit, in future. For a while we were wrapped up excited talking about him ferrying his airplane to Australia. One thing that puzzled me a bit was that he said he would have to fly from Bali to Darwin.... Hmm, this does not sound like an usual route to me. More like Port Moresby to Darwin?

Looked like it was an interesting outing for you both. Why his daughter didn't come along? Is Teo your Sam Tat classmate too? Is he a pilot as well? Sorry... too many questions, I think I'd better stop here.
