Alice Springs

[Tomo]

Hey there!

 

We're finally heading off for a bit of a holiday as a family at the end of this week, packing up the trailer and camping gear and heading bush! One of the destinations will be Alice Springs, so I thought it'd be interesting to hire a plane and do a bit of flying around the area whilst I'm there.

 

http://www.alicespringsaeroclub.com.au/ This mob seem good, and I will call them tomorrow and find out what they say. But in the mean time I thought I'd just put it out there and see if anyone is from the area, and places to look at etc etc... apart from the usual of course.

 

Thanks

There's a group out at Uluru with Boomerangs which should suit your weight Tomo

They do circuits only.

Tomo, go to Kings Canyon & do the walks - it's worth it

Turbo didn't realise you wanted a one-way trip, most people he advises, also want to come back like Charlie Drake. (But you're probably far too young to remember him)

 

Have a lovely trip anyway Tomo

 

Kind regards

Call into the Todd Tavern and say g'day to my mate Lurch, you may even get a job pension days.

 

Bond springs strip worth a visit. CFI makes great coffee.

 

Enjoy the trip

Tomo, Ran into Chris Brandon and his family recently at Natfly. He is a Trike instructor from Alice Springs, and he had a very high-tech looking trike there on show. Chris is quite a character, and I'm sure he'd make you welcome there. His Ph is 0438 307844, and from his card he operates from Bond Springs Airfield, and Aileron Station. Other contacts are:...www.aircreation.com.au ...Email:[email protected].................................Maj...

Hey Pud, would have been cool to catch up, but I have to be home by August as I have a gig I'm working on for then!

 

Thanks for the contacts Maj, will give him a yell and see what he says! Was talking to the lady at the aero club yesterday and sounds like a great spot, and very helpful in everything. And they have a fair range of various aircraft. Even a RAA rego'd CT!
