It was hot, 37 degrees according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Kneeling on the tarmac to check the fuel of the Cessna confirmed this as I swiftly got a rag to kneel on to save burning my knees.
Anyhow, after fueling the aircraft and checking it out (and remembering how to start it) I taxed off to runway 04. After the pre-takeoff checks I took off and headed into the local area before rejoining and practicing my circuits with five take off and landings. I was pleased that I had not forgot how to land the plane!
After flying on such a great day, albeit a bit on the hot side, I can't wait to get in the cockpit again soon. I'm hopefully taking two friends up on Sunday and doing a flight along the Sydney coast line - I hope the weather holds!
