Great stuff, you might be boring your kids to sleep in flight (hehehe), but I stayed wide awake. So good to see our own backyard from the air. keep up the great footage and commentary.
Thanks for the encouragement mate. Yeah early morning, long flight, smooth air and the white noise of the motor humming away sent him to sleep. I was talking to myself for atleast half an hr.
Would have been interesting before the locks and barrages. I assume it was seasonal, and the season length would vary a lot. Would be great to go back 100years
Yeah I can’t get over the volume of water that has been flowing into the state. It got to a point where what was flowing in each day was more than what SA house holds use in a year.
@@SKYHILLMIKE I've done some lessons but quickly found that I enjoyed looking out the window rather than flying. The world is too interesting from above.
Again another aviation video masterpiece! I learnt a lot and I've flown over that area for the last ten years.... I like your slips onto your strip. You must have a good video photographer in the family?
Thanks for the compliment. What do you fly and from what field. I’d love to drop into so fields and meet others and seem some planes. The wife’s getting a lot better, I love doing the slips. Normally set up glide approach and a bit on the high side, go full flap once I know I’ll make the strip and side slip the rest of the height away.
@@SKYHILLMIKE I fly a kitplane called a skydart, a pusher tandem with a 912 in it. It isn't a bush plane but I land pretty short, not as short as you but for a 100kt cruise at around 15ltr an hour, I'm happy. I'm hangared at Callington. There is a video my ex-brother inlaw put on UA-cam called skydart flying with Ralf if you want a look. Your videos are excellent, multiple cameras, informative and cute with your kids nodding off! My daughter only indulged me with a few flights, not interested at all....
Thanks, yeah I was going to that lower section the same day, but found an issue with my plane which ment I couldn’t do the next flight. I plan on doing a flight when the levels are back to normal and comparing to the flood footage. I’m assuming some of the back water will take awhile to dry out.
Thanks, If I’m not working I will be there with the family. I won’t be able to fly in at this stages as I’m currently needing to do some fabric work on the plane before I can fly again unfortunately. I want to attend any flying I can fly to.
I’d love a 4 seat plane, I’d be doing camping trips away all the time with the family but 4 seater cost so much to maintain and be licensed for. Probably cheaper to own 2 planes like mine, look forward to when my son flys.
@@SKYHILLMIKE As long as he stays awake! Oh well, there is always autopilot. I used to fly from Adelaide Airport to Woomera for work in a twin engine 8? Seater. Once he got up to height, pilot would read the paper and I'm sure he nodded off on many occasions. Perfectly safe though; he set an alarm to wake him in time to commence decent to Woomera Airport! 😨😬
Great footy. Noce work
Great work again guys , thanks for sharing this amazing footage.
Thanks for the appreciation mate

Another great video. Thanks Mike
Thanks mate. More to come in the future and they can only get better.
Great video, commentary & annotation, Mike! A mixture of SA geography, history & more.. 🙂
Thanks Pete, was great to such an event from above and capture it.
Reminds me how paddle boats once navigated our beautiful country

@@SKYHILLMIKE sure would
Plenty water down there still, Mike. Thanks for the great views.

Loved your video, glad you didn't fall asleep up there.
Haha gold. Yeah flying keeps me awake very well. It’s the drive home that can be hard.

Awesome man crazy to see the changes over time.
Thanks, I plan on doing a flight once levels have dropped to normal. And do a comparison video

Fantastic viewing Mike just sad you didn’t finish down to Murray Bridge as more levees had broken since video 2 but cheers mate loved the views !!

Have enjoyed watching your channel. Will you be attending the Barossa airshow? wondering if you would be flying in?

😴💤 Boo ! ! ! Wake-up. 😉
Haha, Even my talking didn’t wake him. We saw the sunrise that day while we were prepping the plane
You need 💺💺💺💺.
