About 30 club members and partners turned up for Boris' farewell in Tamworth - too numerous to mention them all. We had a nice meal, and a few speeches, and presented Boris with an engraved pen set to remember us by.Afterwards, a few of us with more energy went to a hotel for more festivities but arrived back at the club relatively early at 1.00 am. At that point it was decided that I would fly Boris to Tamworth in the morning to catch his 9.05 am flight to Airlie Beach via Sydney.
Despite lack of sleep, the flight was uneventful and we were given a straight in visual approach on runway 12 L (the big one) by the tower. It took 0.2 of an hour to get there according to my GPS, so we were a bit early. I am starting to get comfortable with this controlled airspace business! Departed Tamworth just before Boris' flight, so I was the "traffic" reported to the Dash 8.
On arrival back at Keepit, there was a hive of activity with the erection of the legendary shade sail in progress. I left them to it and flew home.
