Guest Chainsaw Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 This will be worthwhile to attend. Mrs Chainy and I visited Pt Cook in August 09 and I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Air Pageant in Feb or March 08 and enjoyed that, so I am looking forward to this one - especially the Sabre! I've long wanted to see one of these flying.

dougal_s Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've been looking around for a Programme of Events i.e. flying display schedule, but I have not found one anywhere yet. Does anybody know what the flying schedule will/might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal_s Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Incidentally the weather forecast is not too promising: Forecast for Sunday Cloudy. Areas of rain and the chance of thunderstorms later in the day. Winds northwest to southwesterly averaging up to 25 km/h tending southerly 20 to 35 km/h during the afternoon. City Rain developing. Min 20 Max 30 But then this is Melbourne and this is likely to change by Sunday...But I really hope this is not going to end up like Avalon last year.

dougal_s Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Well I took the family along and enjoyed the day there. The weather was not the best - but then it wasn't the worst either! Highlight for me was seeing the Sabre fly, but then that wasn't surprising. I look forward to the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taa Museum Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 We also had a great time at the pageant being a member of the RAAF Association and the AAFC gave us a few perks one was use of a building for lunch and a hot coffee anytime and toilets. You no longer have to be exRAAF to be a member of the RAAF any queries contact myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
