Back to SSFC in Vung Tau.

This visit we audited three Eurocopter helicopters and the facility. Many improvements since last year. The folk here are truly professional, open and honest. 

This next photo is info only, we didn’t audit these babies. They are built like tanks.

We set off from Perth and overnighted in the airport inn at Singapore Airport. A very basic room but it breaks an otherwise long journey. Next day we made our way to Siagon. Getting our visas at Siagon airport was an interesting exercise. Then off in a taxi to the mighty Mekong river to catch a ferry down to Vung Tau. The ferry we used was an old Russian hydrofoil, boy was it in a sorry state. It got us there in one piece though. A very interesting taxi/ferry ride I can assure you. As we pulled into Vung Tau I was impressed by the look of the place. This was not a misplaced feeling as over the next few days we saw most of what the city had to offer.

I recently spent a few days in sunny Queensland. Didn’t wash much due to level 5 water restrictions. Stayed in the Redcliffe town and did 6 CoA issues to Light Sport Aircraft out at the Redcliffe airstrip.
