Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the air.....
durdum (Jaws Music Sound).....durdum.....durdum...durdum..durdum.durdum.....AHHHHHH! PantyMan is Back!
Yes that's right folks, hide your equipment, distract your wives and lower your expectations, the Dusties one-and-only CrossDresser is back in town (for the weekend).
This momentus occassion was rewarded with some nice flying on Monday. Drunken (yet recently reformed and now sober) Duncan, C.K.M.M (Come-Kill-Me-Muzz) and PantyMan headed out to Lake Perko for a nice afternoon fly in good thermic conditions with a moderate SE blowing. We were accompanied by our resident Chief Gropee (Dusties Groupy) Toby and his entourage of Dusty worshippers.
Duncan was the first to take to the air and on his second tow found some lift to around 2999ft and enjoyed a nice sustained flight. Unfortunately his harness zip decided to disintergrate which grounded him for the rest of the day. PantyMan (making many brave whimpering sounds) went for his first flight in nearly a year and managed to find lift up to exactly 3000ft before the drift took him too far from the lake and he had to return to demonstrate a perfect landing in the Fun 190. C.K.M.M was next up and vanished up to 5500ft in a matter of minutes before entertaining everyone with some Aerobatics. PantyMan had setup the Moyes Max and took it for a nice tow to 2000ft and enjoyed a nice smooth flight in weak and broken lift which he, in his infinite wisdom, decided to finish by demonstrating the very difficult and dangerous 'look-at-ground' landing technique where he demonstrated a perfect early flare and drop. No damaged done and cobwebs removed PantyMan was very happy to be home and flying once more. Chief Gropee Toby then produced fingerfood, chocolate and beer for the brave pilots and everyone celebrated PantyMan's return.
All in all there is no better way to spend a Monday and good flights and great fun was had by all. Muzz won the day and no injuries or damage was done. PantyMan will be residing in Perth for the forseeable future but will regularly venture up to his old launching grounds to keep the rest of the Dusties honest.
Till the next Panty Invasion, Fly High.
