Great Eastern Flyin 11-12 January

[kgwilson]

The Great Eastern Flying is on again tomorrow and Sunday. The website has only just been updated with the program and there is no discrete frequency this year. Everything was left till quite late I guess because of uncertainty with the Bushfires. I'll be heading over early tomorrow. It's only a half hour flight for me.

There were not many aircraft at Evans Head this year. I got there at 8:30 & ended up parking in what is normally the operational area to fill a gap and have something for the public to look at. The forecast was poor with a Southerly change due in the afternoon with Thunderstorms so this kept most away I'd say. They did their best with a Spitfire, an Extra, a Winjeel & an impromptu STOL demo from Bush Flyers Downunder. It was well organised yet again and there were plenty of people there. I left around mid-day as the Southerly had already got to Coffs but it was calm & hot back at South Grafton A few photos are attached.Lots of people few aircraft.

That is a shame. Good to see a rag and tube ultralight. ?
