Lombok MPG Tour Sep 06: Mataram

The second day of the tour was flying over Lombok's main town, Mataram. Despite a late start, the flight was good though a good amount of thermal activity was kicking up from the surrounding rice paddies. As per usual, within minutes of our arrival at the launch site, hundreds of locals had appeared for the show. Initially, our plan was to fly around the town though turbulence eventually turned us around. We later returned to the site in the evening and had another excellent scenic sunset flight.
