skippydiesel Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 Holbrook this weekend. Weather looks promising. All the signs are for a great fly-in.😈
jackc Posted April 17 Posted April 17 If there ever was a chance I could go, this is the flyin I would like to attend. A personal friend of mine from 50 years ago ,was a luminary in Aviation for that place. Sadly, I never got back there in recent times, Bryan Gabriel RIP 😣 one of the most knowledgeable in the country on Ultralights. One day I will get there, to see his legacy 👍 1 1

He was an amazing craftsman, the cars were something else. The ultralight museum, also amazing.

At that time he owned an Orange ‘69 or so Corvette, worked for a Defence Dept contractor, from memory. 1 1
skippydiesel Posted Saturday at 07:43 AM Author Posted Saturday at 07:43 AM Great day at Holbrook. Fantastic flying weather. The members & Committee have a wonderful set up, everything neat & well maintained. Met a Forum member or two. One with a stunning yellow Sonex. Not a big show but what was there was quality all the way - very nice range of aircraft eg Mooney, Pipistrel Virus SW tail dragger, RV's well represented by a lovely 3 & I think a 7, Some Jabs, 2 Sonex & a Onex, 2 Cirris (one from OzRunways), etc etc😈 2 2

I think its an annual event - some attendees were comparing today's excellent weather with previous years more "challenging" systems😈 3
