Phil Perry Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Yes but how many can out gun my .303 Lewis We can fix YOU,. . .you gate crasher,. . . .WE have a genuine twin German 88millimetre anti-aircraft gun on a gimbal mout ( deactivated ) . . .so that is going to make NONSENSE of your pathetic english .303 deactivated Lewis gun. . .Sveinhundt ! ! ! Really GOOD idea you've got there mate,. . . shame Australia is such a rather big place,. . . . and RAA aircraft are of limited range and s p r e a d out a bit over the continent. . . but I'm sure there will be a lot of takers for your project. We used to have a bunch called " The Otherton Raiders" around 12 years ago,. . .and we used to "Raid" airfields all over the country,. . .easy for us, as the "Country" isn't really that big ! ! ! but we DID have a serious load of fun. Regrettably, there wasn't much technology about back then, and most people still had cameras with "Film" in them ( REMEMBER THAT ? ) so not much of the history remains. . . we even "Raided" Birmingham Intl. airport when they had the four day Pilots' strike a few years ago,. . .I couldn't believe my ears when they allowed us to fly microlights in there,. . . .on the day, we had around 34 aircraft, and we were NOT charged anything at all, . . .and used all the facilities, fuel was a problem, as none of us could burn Jet A1,. . .but you can't have everything. and all but one of us managed to fly out,. . .one guy tipped his flexwing over and damaged the wing,. . . .so being a friendly lot,. . .we all buggered off and left him to his fate. . . . No,. . very good idea Flyerme. . . . .and I hope it all works out well. . . . .we WILL be watching. . . . .! Can't bring my Gemini Flash 2,. . .I'd have to fly through Iraqui airspace to get there, and I don't think that would be a good idea at the moment, . . .might get beheaded on national TV. . . . .( OI,. . .who said that would be good ! ! ! )

kaz3g Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Could be a busy year. Hope the WX gods are taking note!Loxton Nhill. Oct 10 Benalla Unconfirmed :suggestions Murray bridge RPA murray bridge LAF Lamaroo mallee micro lights Lamaroo. Kevin Gyro's Aldinga Strathalbyn Brooklands Meningie Karoonda-DC Goolwa Gawler Hind marsh island Rowland flat Clare valley Swanreach Kangaroo island Pinnaroo Also would like my own get together at some point ,my thoughts and ideas on this are: A get together at x strip for the day, BBQ and flying activities/competitions. I find there's not enough actual activities once at destination (if any)so let's make a day full of trophy/ ribbon award winning activities and alike...... -spot landing , furtherest distance flown, best looking plane per catorgory , flower bombing( if still allowed?). Smoothest landing,PLEASE MORE SUGGESTIONS HERE. Also we could have a safari day : were we will go out with a map and clues ( fuel/ground crew will be needed) More details to come As mentioned all this will be filmed for my documentary project aimed at promoting our sport and getting new young blood involved... I will also be publicly promoting our events through regular media, social media, advertising and word of mouth. So please get involved we need everyone's support. "The Great JACK FLYER Gate Crash 2015" Don't forget to come to Saturday lunch with the GVAC at Shepparton! Kaz 1
Phil Perry Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Those trophies look terrific Tim . . . . Well done mate. 1 2
farri Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 fellow aviators...I'm planing on something exciting, something different,something unique.An adventure for all to be involved in (within distance and availability ),It's all about aviation Fun... Goodonya Tim!...Putting some fun back into Ultralight flying!...Hope it all goes well for everyone involved...Won`t be there, Deeral is just too far away. we even "Raided" Birmingham Intl. airport when they had the four day Pilots' strike a few years ago,. . .I couldn't believe my ears when they allowed us to fly microlights in there. Phil, Way back when!...Several members of the 'Far North Queensland Ultralight Association' (our club) were granted permission to fly into Cairns Intl airport and do a flying display! The only requirement was that we fly in and out, within, plus or minus 10 minutes of the approved time and at least one aircraft had to carry a radio and be able to use it..... I recall there were, two Drifters and a LightWing and I`m pretty sure there were a couple more but I can`t recall them at the moment. Frank. 2 1
