coinz Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Hello fellow aviators,just wishing to touch base,i live in Mackay (yes sunny Mackay where it never stops raining lately ) . Have been out of flying for some years and just came back from a road trip (m/cycle rally at Inverell) and included a short flight in the Sierra at Taree.Awsome plane that,fantastic vis over the nose. Anyway i've been looking to get into ownership and had been stuck on the Storch for years but who knows. Any spare hangar space out Palmyra guys? cheers colin

Hello Colin, .You reckon it`s been raining at Mackay! Here at Deeral, we`ve coped 12 inches/ 304.8 Millimetres just in the past two days! Frank. Aw shucks Frank,i was just trying to make conversation.I don't really mind the wet up here.But the RA flyers are not to friendly up here. Colin.
facthunter Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Welcome Colin. There are Motor cyclers here too. Haven't you found the RA flyers friendly? Let us know who they are and we will fix that. Perhaps the rain has dampened their enthusiasm. Nev
Milz Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Hi Colin, What kind of bike do you get around on mate? Ever done any riding down this way in the Alps? Cheers
Doug Evans Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Hello Collin Sorry mate be flying around Mackay & Rockhampton " old station flyin . So haven't been online Welcome to the area and we also ride motorcycle in our spare time Canam spiders , & also try and fit in abit of hovercraft in there as well . Cheers and welcome mate
ianwells Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 G'day Colin, Welcome to the wetsundays! Its still paradise here even when its raining, at least the rain is warm. We operate from our own stip called Heathrow, just south of Proserpine, drop in any time. For hangarage try Lake side Airpark at Bloomsbry Ph no in ERSA. Cheers Ian
Phil Perry Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Hi Colin, and welcome as well. Sorry to hear that the local flyers are a bit, er,. . . not forthcoming with obvious social interfacement,. . . I find that hard to understand, as we're all into flying anyway. . . ? weird that. . . Welcome anyway, you won't get any problems on this forum, most of the blokes and blokettes on here are really close to human I've found. . . . . ( ! ) Phil
Old Koreelah Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Good to see yet another motorcyclist aboard, Colin. Was the ride to Inverell for the Sapphire rally? I have happy memories of past runs. I bet you noticed the roads getting worse as you entered NSW.
Hongie Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 G'day mate.i fly out of palmyra, renting the schools sav where I did my cert. unfortunate there is no hangarage available there, all full of big shiny GA typed that get little use. there is an rv9 and hangar for sale if you have 140k though.
Bandit12 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Haven't you found the RA flyers friendly? Let us know who they are and we will fix that. Hey Nev, what did you have in mind? A good old beasting or a little re-education perhaps?
coinz Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 Wow guys,i've been away for a few weeks and have just tuned in again to all these replies.I went to the "Old station" flyin ,what a terrific event,and the Trojan and yak were kept working constantly.Can see an air show coming up soon after that turnup. Just returned from Cooktown and Cairns and got to see 2 Storch's,on the way back.I'll keep looking something will turn up. I've got a 1951 Royal Enfield 500 Twin,been an interest of mine for 40 years these early Twins,don't know why but i love to get away on the odd Rally and catch up with like minded individuals,the Inverell rally is just one of many held around the country. Thanks for the offer of a hanger too,i'll be looking in to that one,will be a little busy from now on due to work at present. regards colin
coinz Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 Milz,yes i've been up through the Alps,from Midura down the Murray then up over the Alps and ended up at Mum's in Pambula.Skiers out to the left of me,beautiful clear skies and about minus 10C,does it get any better:thumb up: Hongie,if that's the blue Sav i've flown it that out at Nebo,i snuck some time in when it was out doing some flier training, about 1.5 by memory. cheers colin
