Jabiru7252 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Regarding Gawler, be aware that Saturdays are training days for LSA students and there is also lot's of Glider activity. Local frequency is 126.55 Mhz. 1
scre80 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Also remember there is right hand circuits if using 23 or 13. If you know where Gawler Dam is, this is the preferred inbound point too. 1

cherk Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Did you bring any COLD weather with you???? I wish ! Now at the Gold Coast , bit of shock from -15 c..
turboplanner Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Not being on FaceAche I guess I miss out. Oh for the days when folks ran websites instead of exclusive facebook etc. Time moves on, and Facebook is pulling away from the websites. FB is a lot more automatic, but it does suffer when it becomes so popular that you can't track different discussions, and that's where well managed sites like this one are holding their own. The RAA site is a good example of a dead site. 1

Jabiru7252 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Whoo, gonna be lumpy flying tomorrow, 35°C. 1
flyerme Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 Whoo, gonna be lumpy flying tomorrow, 35°C. Both myself in my lightwing and a friend in his diamond left dents in our roofs from an un exspected severe down draught over the rangers. Reckon the hand of god smacked us down with all his might.lol Thankfully the wings stayed on. Have fun riding themz bumps
Deskpilot Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Yes a great meet. Glad to have caught up with Flyerme, Stoney and few old friends from Murry bridge. Good job I didn't fly there, might not have made it as I got well and truly lost north of Adelaide. Followed some very old road signs instead of all our new super highways. Comming home wasn't much better. Might have to invest in one of these new fangled things called SatNavs. 1 1
scre80 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Flight to KI was as smooth as anything, way back though was a bit rough. All in all a great day outing to KI and the Gala Day at American River 1
Steve L Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 You should take a pat on the back too Tim for supplying all the trophies, I won the GA trophy It was a very good turnout. Steve 2 1
