FlyAdventure Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Just want to see who’s planning on heading to Old Station? Are you flying in, Camping, got other adventures planned around the place?
KRviator Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 I "should" be there, with Mini-Me Mk2. Hopefully camping under-wing, but depends on several non-flying factors lining up too.
FlyAdventure Posted March 24, 2022 Author Posted March 24, 2022 Awesome mate, Heading myself in the Victa Saturday, camping. But will have someone heading up in the car with all the camping gear. Looking forward to it!
Yenn Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I should be there with the Corby, don’t know if I will camp.
Bennyboy320 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Flying in & camping ⛺️, May the weather gods be kind to us all. 1
FlyAdventure Posted March 25, 2022 Author Posted March 25, 2022 Yes, fingers crossed. Will be good to see a good turn out! Will be my first fly in and camp.
Blueadventures Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I'm planned to be there. Usually go the day before if weather good in case it worsens. Plus miss any congestion on arrival. Look forward to catching up. Always been an great friendly gathering with good displays and air show and many there to catchup. 1

KRviator Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Taking a leaf from the C182 POH "If it fits, it flies" I'm getting ready early, as I'm away in the Democratic Peoples Republic of McGowanland in the lead-up to Raglan (for the first time in 11 months, mind you 🤬), by test packing now before I get home from my swing and run out of time. So, in the back of the RV we now have: One folding camp table Two full-size swags Two folding camp chairs Two adult sleeping bags One bag of tie-down gear One fly-away kit One (normally fitted anyway) first aid kit Two umbrellas One head lamp QTY Cyalume sticks and; Books for Mini-Me to read enroute To still go on top are 2 pillows Soft overnight bag My normal flight bag 2 hats & sun cream Probably more as I think of it.

Blueadventures Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) This is a video I did a few years back will give an idea of what it's like. I did a coolant hose on way home had to precautionary outland and some guys from Old Station came and helped out with hose joiner and coolant. I tried twice to put money in their tool bucket but they gave it back. Great guys. This year is the next one and I'll be phoning them to at least buy them some beers. Its a great turn out and worth the journey to get there. Hope the video helps with decisions to attend. Edited April 26, 2022 by Blueadventures 3 1 1
Blueadventures Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Video by Trackley. Includes my coolant issue and thanks to Travis and two other guys I was airborne quickly again. Edited April 26, 2022 by Blueadventures 3

Thruster88 Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 This forecast rain is a bit of a worry, hopefully drainage is good and we get a few dry weeks after
Yenn Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 The rain may be forecast, but it will not happen at Old Station. Rain is seldom as forecast for this location. No problems with rain softening the runway, it will have to drop about 100mm overnight to have any effect. 1
