Guest Darren Masters Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Just wondering who may be there? I am flying down to Melbourne with Jetstar on Thursday the 18th Sep and then leaving in formation with Paul Andronicou's Extra 300S in his RV8. Might leave that afternoon or the Friday morning (19th Sep). Should take us 2.5hrs from Melbourne to Cowra. Flying back to Melbourne in formation again on Sunday 21st Sep then back to Sydney with Jetstar on Monday 22nd Sep. Sounds like it will be a good weekend with quite a few displays. I will be doing Paul's ground work during the weekend. Would be good to catch a few of you from the forums and have a chat over some beers (or 6).
Guest Glenn Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Not sure if I can travel the distance to get there. It's a long 7 1/2 minutes drive :P Just kidding :) Do you guys need a couple extra hands?
Guest Darren Masters Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Quite possibly mate. You will probably score and aerobatic flight out of it :D
Guest Glenn Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Anyway, I'll be around all those days. Wonder if we can entice the madman to leave the compound and attend
Robbo Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 then leaving in formation with Paul Andronicou's Extra 300S in his RV8. Fit a citation in the formation :mrgreen: lol jks :mrgreen: I should drive up. Glenno how longs it take to drive from Albury? Takes me 4 hours to drive to Albury so how far beyond?
Guest Glenn Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 3.5 to 4 hrs if you come up via wagga. You don't need to drive right through wagga either. Don't go Gundagai, too many road works and it will take you 5 hrs
Robbo Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 3.5 to 4 hrs if you come up via wagga. You don't need to drive right through wagga either. Don't go Gundagai' date=' too many road works and it will take you 5 hrs[/quote']I might drive up if I can get the time off. Couple of girls I know keep asking me to take them to the airshow at Avalon but it's to far away so might see if they will settle for this :roll: #-o :mrgreen: =D>
Guest OzChris Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I might see if I can get the weekend off...not sure how long it would take me from Ballarat?? Might even fly up...can I park an aircraft there? or is it full/too busy for that weekend??
Robbo Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Chris... Leave your car at YMML and you can come with me :mrgreen: I can put your car in the staff cark park using my access card :mrgreen: =D>
Guest Glenn Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 plenty of parking for aircraft in a paddock :) Everyone come so we can have a TAA get together. Robbo's shout
Robbo Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Robbo's shout [-X [-X [-X [-X Chris....... http://www.whereis.com/?id=26784D995A9106
Guest Glenn Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Paul Bennet is returning with his Pitts VH-UDP with a special act that will include a knife edge ribbon cut!
Guest OzChris Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Wow thats a long way - looking at the map :shock: I think I will definitely fly in with my partner if we can get the time off...maybe fly the J230 @ 125kts
Guest David C Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 It all depends on my work roster . Hopefully I can "arrange " a couple of days off . I would be flying the Mibsubishi at ground level at about 50Kts ground speed , and probably be there just for the Saturday , as I want to grab the QF A380 delivery in SYD and possibly ?? the V Australia B777 delivery too the following day . I know a few of the Camden Chapter 2 SAAA guys will be there , Just Fred in particular , so Darren will be enertained at least . Know what I mean !! :lol: :lol: Dave C
Guest OzChris Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I would be flying the Mibsubishi at ground level at about 50Kts ground speed Do Mitsubishi's actually go that fast?? :lol:
Guest David C Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 :lol: :lol: .... Mine has 308,000Km on the clock , so you do make a good point ! I was hoping Qantas could do a D check on it , but on second thoughts , maybe not !! Dave C
Guest OzChris Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 haha :lol: Just remember your VNE on the Mitsubishi is 51kt :P
Guest Darren Masters Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Yes, I will be entertained Dave :lol: Uncle Fred is never short of conversation!!! Would be good to see you all there! Chris, fly up mate. Would be good to finally meet you mate. Robbo, I don't think the Citation will be able to slow down enough. Then again, I think its cruise is around 180kts. Correct me if I am wrong. 180kts might be when pushing it though. 150kts the norm for the RV8? Anyway, yes, Robbo will be buying the beers.
Guest Glenn Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Heard that there wil be hot air balloons and Pip Borman is supposed to be coming as well
Guest Darren Masters Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Heard that there wil be hot air balloons and Pip Borman is supposed to be coming as well Sounds good :D
Guest OzChris Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Sounds REAL good :D I soooo hope we can get the time off! I might get the whole family along...my eldest is in a musical production at that time, so Im hoping she can get that weekend off. would be a nice weekend getaway 8) especially with Robbo buying the beers =D> =D>
