I hope so mate, or the airfield will be under water.

Reminder about the fly-in this coming Saturday, brekkie from 8am onward. As an added incentive, there are three lucky draw prizes for participants, $250, $150 & $100 vouchers from the Sky Shop, so dust off the old girl and cruise down to the 'Coast. Oh and if anyone has any contacts with the weatherman, a sunny, calm day would be much appreciated.

Yeah mate, haven't heard any different. As you say the weather is becoming more n more promising - was pretty good out at Boonah today too, I dropped in for a few circuits at lunchtime.

Well I don't know about anyone else, but I thought it was a great day out. This morning dawned sunny n fairly calm and by the time I rolled in just before 8.00am there were already about 10 aircraft parked on the grass. I was doing too much yakking to count or even photograph them all, but it looked as though we got to nearly 40 aircraft and a fair number of drive in visitors too. The barbie crew in the hangar seemed to be operating flat out whenever I walked past, so between weather, people and food, the flyin covered all the bases. Not sure how many forumites put in an appearance, but I was pleased to see Dave Butler, Daryl (Dazza), Peter (Heon) and Walter Buschor.

 

Here are a couple of my pics, apologies for defacing them with my copywrite, but I was mightly pXXXed off to find a previous batch appear elsewhere without even the courtesy of an acknowledgement:censored:. I'm enough of an amateur to be chuffed if anyone else shows any interest in my happy snaps and would gladly send undefaced copies on request, but that struck me as poor form.

 

Cheers Carl

Unfortunately didn't get over today, but I made up for it by flying the Drifter around... :big_grin:

 

 

[dazza 38]

Top Shots mate.I enjoyed it.It was great to see and catch up with Forum Members.

How can a day spent on an airfield NOT be great:clap: It was great to meet & greet as well as put faces to the names. As usual great photos Spin.

 

See you all around the circuit soon.

A quick thank you to the folks at Jacobs Well for their hospitality and great breakfast!!

 

The flight behind Mt Warning and over Hinze Dam has got to be one of the most scenic on the East coast plus a great morning for flying.

 

Cheers

Damn there's a photo I missed and a forumite I didn't meet - although I suspect I was admiring your aircraft when you took off John - that SS version of the small fuselage Jab sure does move along!

 

Amazing how the time goes when you're having fun and talking aeroplanes; I suddenly realised just after 12 that I had to be elsewhere so left after about 4 and half hours without even having gotten across to the clubhouse to sample the food.
