Admin Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Ive got a hanger there if that helps? Great idea, can we organise a drinks get together at the hanger 3 1
Sean_Smith11 Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Does anyone know the events there putting on? Thanks, Sean
facthunter Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Take your shirt off before you iron them on. Having the ident on the plane won't help a lot unless you sit in it all weekend. Nev 2 1
Nobody Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Does anyone know the events there putting on?Thanks, Sean As I understand the situation from the rumours: 1. It is no longer being run by the SAAA. It is being run by a comittee that includes a many of the previous organizers. It is thought that this is a way to encourage greater partiipation from the other avaition bodies, hence the name change. 2. The event will not have a commercial/formal airshow. This limited the opportunities for more grassroots flying. Time will tell if these changes are for the better I am a little diapointed that this close to the event there still isnt a web page. 1 1 3
David Isaac Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 There was some discussion on the latest emailed newsletter from RAAus that some joint discussions are in progress between RAAus and SAAA. Hopefully that will be fruitful. SAAA used to run some great educational events on the various aspects of aircraft building and maintenance at what was once called AusFly. 1
facthunter Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 True .. The last one like that which I attended was at Cowra. Nev
derekliston Posted May 25, 2016 Author Posted May 25, 2016 I plan on coming, maybe in the Nieupy if I can organise support for fuel etc... I'll have my camper trailer with a couple of 20litre jerrycans for fuel which I wont need for this trip so if you need to pick up fuel they will be available, assuming you use 98 mogas. If you use avgas and it is not available at Narromine (I would have thought it would be!) that can be organised too.
frank marriott Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 If you use avgas and it is not available at Narromine (I would have thought it would be!) that can be organised too So this is no longer current?
gandalph Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 It's a shame we don't have some means of spotting/meeting fellow forum tragics. Any suggestions? (apart from rolling up one trouser leg or wearing rotating bow ties, etc. . .) Easy to spot. Most of us will have our flying jackets made of strong canvas with the sleeves fastened behind our backs, and two beefy blokes in white coats very close by... 3 3
shafs64 Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 I went last time they had natfly there. And met a few of the forum members. Ian had a tent set up there.
DonRamsay Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 You'll be flying in again in the Sting made in India? How else am I going to deliver the drugs? 4
1Phils Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks David Looks I am booking that weekend off and will be there. Might catchup with some new friends down that way. Phil.
MarkyMarkOZ Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Yes I will be there. This will be my second significant cross country trip (flying from YBAF) since attaining PPL, so any hints and tips for the destination, particularly around organisation on the ground there for accommodation, etc, will be greatly appreciated. Not fussy about tent, bed, floor, just intend to meet people and have a good time,
Old Koreelah Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 If you're bringing your own camping gear you can set up under the wing or in the campground nearby. Perhaps the best is the cabins (Narromine Tourist Park). Rooms are not numbers, but named for iconic aircraft. The Aero Club puts on good meals drinks, and is a great social venue. Peppercorn Inn (Home) is a few hundred meters away, on the edge of town. There are other places in town. 1
Nobody Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Anyone heard any more about this? The website Ozkosh.com.au has been pretty static for awhile with coming soon. It's only a few months to go... I hope all is well. 1
biggles Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I managed to get accomodation at the Tourist Park , but things are getting a little tight .... Bob
facthunter Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Well, that's a good sign that it will be well attended, unless it's clashing with something else. Nev
DonRamsay Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 The airport is walking distance to the centre of town though I wouldn't want to carry 2 full jerry cans that far. Just a hop over the hills for me so no need to refuel at YNRM. 1 1
Old Koreelah Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Don let's hope them thar hills are not covered in cloud on the day! 1
derekliston Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 We've booked a spot for our camper trailer so fingers crossed for the show weather. 1
biggles Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I'm South of the Divide, so getting through the Kilmore Gap is my concern.... Bob 1
derekliston Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 Given the ominous name I'm not surprised by your concern! 5
billwoodmason Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Given the ominous name I'm not surprised by your concern! It has a reputation to match. 2
