The Oaks Flying News

[Matt]

Hi Dave,

 

Yep, our Sportstar was Peter's original demonstrator aircraft.We were at Narromine this year (on the Saturday) and Peter had the sister aircraft to ours there last year.

 

Never fear having missed us, we'll definitely be back at The Oaks on a regular basis and look forward to meeting you next time we're up.

 

Cheers,

 

Matt.

We (the new family) and I will be there in the morning. Need to start them young!:) Emma feels she needs to get out of the house. Good enough excuse for me:cool: Forecast is looking mighty good for the weekend too.

Look at it today Dave. You know why? Because we are not there!!:devil:

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

All,

 

Looks like it's going to be an absolutely amazing weekend for flying! :) Shame that you cannot join us Dave. Blue skies and limp wind socks mate:) Time to get the cobwebs off the Bantam I think.

Very true Don. Fantastic isn't it mate? What a beautiful day it is today.:) Oh well shower and out there! I am sure I'll have some pics later. Thanks for the mobile Arthur:clap: Don't know about the conversion...yet. I'll take you up on the flight offer soon enough.:)

 

 

[Guest David C]

Don't rub it in Darren ...... Just think of me while you are flying along at 90kt enjoying the great scenery , for I will probably be at 0Kt in a traffic jam somewhere !!! . Ah well , who wants to fly in forecast winds of VRB / 10Kts anyway ? . ME THATS WHO . Have a great time .

[Guest danda]

Arthur I will be up there some time in the near future to learn to fly that light wing.

 

Don

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Unbelievable. Engine failure. Will post in incidents/accidents section as soon as my nerves come back. I will be going back for more in the morning but this time in the Jabiru. Takes alot more than todays fright to ground me!

 

 

[Guest danda]

Darren

 

I’m glad all is well and you are alright, there is an old saying, If you are thrown get straight back in the saddle So today have a great time and enjoy your day I will be praying for you and your little family.

[Guest David C]

Darren,

 

I heard the news first hand last night from you , but never the less , it would still be remiss of me not to say well done in getting the airplane back down and keeping both yourself and Sunny safe and with us to fly another day . Have a great time out West .

 

Dave

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Thanks for the prayers Don. Unfortunately I did not get to fly this morning. One of our pet rabbits passed on (just after I got off the phone with you Dave) so I was busy digging a hole. Think she was bitten by a spider. The male is fretting over her now so it has not been the best day for us today either Things can only look up from here. Dave, yesterday Sunny and I both did as best we could at the time and that was to bring the injured aircraft back to The Oaks as fast and safely as we could. We felt we did a good job of it but after this you still think "I could have done this, I could have done that". Lessons to be learnt from every accident/incident. I will still post up in the incidents/accidents thread to get more views on what occured. It's a day I will remember for the rest of my life. We will have a good time on our trip Dave and we all wish you the best on your long journey too.:)

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

[Guest Fred Bear]

Thanks Ian;)

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Well it looks like another good weekend for us this weekend. Well, atleast Saturday 25th November. 1 month until Christmas!!!:)

 

 

[Guest danda]

Darren i wish the same could be said for Holbrook predicting hot dry strong winds, wouldn't want to be a fire fighter in conditions like we have been having over the last few days we have been surrounded bya smoky hazethank GOD for those dedicated men and women of the bush fire brigades all over Australia what a great job they do.
