Tomo Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 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.

planedriver Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 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 Planey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru Phil Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 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 Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maj Millard Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'll be in Alice early in August Tomo. Will you be there around 1st -2nd August? 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!
