  1. Listening to the audio between the aircraft and the tower he clearly states its his first lesson.
  2. Umm so seriously. There is a landing fee, a taxi fee and a parking fee?? What value is the landing fee if it doesn't include access to the taxiway?
  3. Silly me. I thought flying was magic!
  4. Sorry. Chapter 21 of the SAAA. We meet at Moorabbin Airport.
  5. Chapter 21 has a book of MR's. $2.50 each plus postage if you would like one/some.
  6. Sharing this information following Hunter Recreational Flying Club - Cessnock's general meeting today where revelations of a brazen theft of a propeller from a hangared Jabiru were discussed. The thief knew how to access the locked hangar. Details of the propeller are as follows: Propeller Serial #171 Blades are #638 & 640 Hubs are #460 front and rear Spinner Assy #265 The more we can spread this information the better the likelihood of an apprehension. Contact Cessnock police if you do have any information.
  7. The discussion on the wrinkled prune has a post by a lady on the ground at Leigh Creek who says that the PAL was activated by the plane that landed .. but that was after the Brumby had been unsuccessfully trying to activate them.
  8. If you google the identifier ie. YMEK aviation usually they come up ..
  9. Just curious why this thread is in this Forum. 'Trips, events, seats' doesn't seem the best place for this?
  10. not sure why you'd be hurrying to book? Gold coin donation at the gate. I'm assuming that like last year you will need to book for the welcome dinner, breakfast etc but too early to do this now.
  11. AusFly again promises to be a great! Hopefully meet some of you there.
  12. We;ll be at the SAAA display most of the show. Pop over and say Hi.
  13. I've been here a while. But sometimes some of the posts make me wonder why ?
  14. The news reports I've just looked at say the pilot was fully qualified and experienced, but the police id in the aircraft wasn't his.
  15. hate to ruin a good story .. but methinks it was airservices not CASA that made the change ..
  16. Interesting the number of traffic alerts being given out for this area yesterday. ATC must love it not. Altona, Williamstown, BOM Tower featured regularly.
  17. Bairnsdale (YBNS) may be an option if they have a car. I used to live half way between Bairnsdale and Lakes. Generally flew into Bairnsdale. They have fuel, no landing fees, big runways, not sure about casual hangarage though. Perhaps the family can combine picking you up with a visit to Paynesville and Raymond Island. Depending on the kids ages spotting koalas on the island is usually entertaining for awhile.
  18. Great flight home from Narromine. And if I was happy with coffee in the front of an RV that would probably have been his experience :) He had to settle for bottled water till we got back. Apparently I aimed for bugs all the way home and severely depleted the local environment of all little things that fly .. leading edges are definitely not sparkling white at the moment .. but kind of patterned with black and reddish splotches. So the valet duties await.
  19. Aw but I always rely blindly on what you tell me ... :)
  20. Photos from Facebook. No credit to me! In the background of the one you can see the plane camping area. More plane parking was on the left out of sight. And the display aircraft were parked along the apron right around to the SAAA hangar.
  21. Link doesn't work and they were scheduled for the morning
  22. We were told when we arrived for their seminar that they had been held up in Sydney. They were definitely there later that day.
  23. Think we might have chatted outside the Glider Club.
