Neil_S Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Hi folks, I really enjoyed this fly-in and thought I would add a few pictures for you all. Cheers, Neil 8 1 1
440032 Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Seems the aircraft were fenced off from the public to keep them (the aircraft) safe? Unlike every major airshow and fly-in in USA.

facthunter Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Fisher Biplane with a Werner Radial. RAAus numbers. Looks like a perfect day Several Kittyhawks. You may still be able to get a Joyride on one of those. A lot of good work is done in the Hangar there. Nev

Nev Expand Hi Nev, I think the Fisher is owned by Derek Dyer (it used to be anyway - it was previously painted green, if I recall correctly). Cheers, Neil Edited April 24, 2023 by Neil_S 1

Expand If, and I do mean "if", the Tooraweenah event is not cancelled due to lack of interest from the very people it has been created for, then there will be a static display area (with security) open to the public to get close to the aircraft.
spacesailor Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 I WISH to travel to your show !. But Everything is in the maybe box , I got my Delica out & will have a trial run , with sleepover this weekend. Climbing in & out of a bed high on wheels , won't be the best idea . I will definatly miss my soft & comfortable bed. ( first trip in Years ). spacesailor
facthunter Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Make it happen. You only live ONCE. It's not that far away for you. Nev
old man emu Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Spacey, Non-stop it's a 5 hour drive from Penrith at 100 kph via Mudgee. So if you take a break at Lithgow; Mudgee and Dunedoo that's about seven hours'.

facthunter Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Getting into bed High on anything is an unnerving experience .I would think having never DONE drugs but they've filled me with Morphine a couple of times and it didn't do much. Nev
spacesailor Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) The OLD shit the hospitals gave you, ( only known as Opiates ) , made your head spin at an unnerving rate . then those dreams of running on turning stones , would have driven an adult to drink !. BUT I was Three & as skinny as a pole . ( four five 6 7 8 somewhere after which I started school ). PS , my Delica has a bed in the back , with not a lot of headroom . ( I think I may have to take a step-ladder ). spacesailor Edited April 25, 2023 by spacesailor

Expand I would agree. They do look similar, but there is a different shaped fin/rudder, and different strut(s). You can see the word "Cessna" on the tail of one of the 140s too. In addition many Luscombe aircraft have the Luscombe "S" logo, which the aircraft in the picture has on its tail. I was interested to see it was 24 registered, implying factory-built.
