Guest Brett Campany Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 So the plan is set, the wife and I are coming over in November between the 19th and 23rd for my grandfathers 90th. I'd really like to be able to take him flying while we're there because he's the bugger that got me into it in the first place. So Sydney-syders, what's your recommendations on places to hire? I know of the Oaks, that's where I had my first ever ultralight flight in a Thruster T500 about 20 odd years ago but I'm keen to hear what you all recommend. I don't mind coming out and doing a check flight or what ever else is required, I'd just like to take Pa up for a flight for a little while, kind of to say "Thanks" because I think he'd be pretty bloody proud of it. Anyhow, cheers in advance fellas!
Tracktop Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Hi RNAC - Royal Newcastle Aero Club Hunter Valley is a nice place to visit anyway. Don't know any details or requirements, or if its too far but probably not a lot of closer options depending on which side of Sydney your on. Try a phone call and ask as their (our, I am a newish member) site is a bit out of date. Ray
motzartmerv Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 What sort of aircraft are you interested in hiring??...( what have you flown) cheers
Guest Brett Campany Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 What sort of aircraft are you interested in hiring??...( what have you flown)cheers Hey Merv, flown the Texan, Sportcruiser, Storch and Jabiru. My grandfathers a big bloke, 6'8 ish so it'd have to be comfortable.
motzartmerv Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Ok. Well if he's that tall it narrows it down a little.. They have j160's at camden, nice glass cockpit jobbies.. Ashleys school at bankstown have a tecnam.. The oaks are sporting a foxbat.. Or come down to nowra and fly the sportstar ( in some real flying country) hehe... cheers
