Flygirltam Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Well i'm a bit disappointed but guess I should be happy. We secured the Roulettes for the event,however I was lead to believe we would have more support from the RAAF with aircraft for the event. I went to the trouble of submitting alot of paperwork 18 months ago and was told that the defense minister had signed it off in Canberra as an event of 'public significance' and that the RAAF will support your activity. Clearly they have no assets available. The main purpose of the airshow is to raise awareness of aviation in Parafield, an area that has co existed with a RAAF base for many years. I think there are too many people sitting in offices in Canberra that have no idea how much aviation enthusiasts and people of the wider community would love to interact with their airforce assets and see where our tax money goes! Its called Public relations............. Beyond all of that.... we are going to have an amazing event. Such a shame they could not support us more. not even the RAAF balloon! Rant Over............. 3
shags_j Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Sad to hear that, but at least you have the roulettes. Might have to try and make it down there for that one. Looks like a good event.
Gnarly Gnu Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 .... we are going to have an amazing event. So when it be? The RAAF are probably short of cash for fuel, also the RAN is sucking up a lot of defence funds for their coastguard operations welcoming the welfare seekers. 2
