Guest Fred Bear Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hey you blokes, look at Jerry's flight plan and see that stacks of locations state 'support still needed'. C'mon guys, put the bloke up for the night if you have a spare bed or shed. You may get a fly in the chute out of it! I know there are lots of us Rec guys up North!!!

Guest Fred Bear Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well Jerry finally made it to Hoxton Park this morning. Graham Lea (from these forums) was also there but had to leave before Jerry arrived. Nice to meet though Graham :big_grin: Dave and Marilyn C were there as well as Ashley from Sydney Jabiru Flying School (who has kindly supplied a hanger for the night) :thumb_up: and a couple of other people. Jerry arrived at around 1020am with a real short-but-sweet landing roll. Jerry is staying with us this evening. The media has been terrible with their support of this. The Seven News director stated "This sort of thing happens all the time". What a load of . Jerry has made 4 records so far unassisted in an aerochute. Hopefully news.com.au will run a bit of a story with my video later today/tomorrow. Don't forget to visit his web page and give him all the support you can whether it be in the form of a donation or somewhere to rest his head for the night. There are lots of you guys up North that could lend a hand.:thumb_up: Here are a few pics from this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aircraft1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I don't know how it will fit into his planes there is a big open day on the 31st of May and the 1st of June at Heck Field - Jacobs Well. I'm sure he would find a lot of support in this area if he could manage to be passing through this area during this event. My only concern is he may be further north by this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David C Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 This morning we too had the great privilege of meeting Jerry Farsoun on his arrival at Hoxton Park . What an inspiration and breath of fresh air this guy is . Mental illness can and may strike any of us at any time . His flight around the Continent is a great opportunity to bring the awareness of this scourge to all . I say to all , if you have the chance, look at his schedule , and make the effort to go and say G'day to who is one of the most likeable and honest people you will ever meet . He has a looong way to go , but with all our support and encouragement I have no doubts he will triumph . Well done mate . A few shots from Hoxton Park Cleared to Land Almost Down Ahhh Hoxton Park G'day Darren The reception commitee !! Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Bear Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nice shots mate! Looks as though Jerry will be leaving from Hoxton Park early tomorrow morning (around 0700) and tracking further North, probably not stopping @ Hawkesbury. Here is an audio interview from today. zSHARE - File Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Keep going Jezza. :thumb_up: Anybody here got contacts with John Laws or Jeff Kennett? If we could get those 2 on side, I'm sure that would ramp up the media interest.... Regards Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I see from the tracking on his website that Jerry is now into Mt Isa. Bloody good going I reckon. What's that, about 30% of the way around the lap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Fantastic! Bloody good effort, and with determination like he's got, he deserves to succeed against all odd's from the few knockers. Wishing him the same progress for the rest of the trip. Good on him and thats an understatement!!! Keep going Jerry, were proud of you mate, and you should rightly be so, for what you represent.

slartibartfast Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Guys and Gals, our automatic news feed picked up an article about a spot of bother Jerry has had in Tennant Creek. Seems he is unscathed and will continue. Read all about it. May the force be with you Jerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Anyone got the latest on how Jery is going, as he appears to be spending a lot of time in NW of the NT and I see on his website that he is now over the WA border? Has everything been going OK since the woopsie in Tennant Creek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerochute Kev Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Jerrys Progress Jerry is currently in Warmun (tennant Creek). He is stuck there for a while as his chute has a hole (dont know how it happened) and has been sent back to be repaierd. For up to date info check out his website at www.overdownunder.com.au. If you register you will get a copy of his diary each time he posts. He has really done well to fly an aerochute that far!! I consider a 30km trip from home a long trip!
