For a good cause

Right you lot!

 

Get your credit card out and go to this site: https://www.angelflight.org.au/

 

It will be pretty obvious what to do next.

Just to let you know, a contributor to this forum, living in England has posted this information on a forum there, and tickets are being sold.

 

A $15 per ticket it's not a big ask, and we know that Angel Flight is an essential service for people in regional areas. Admittedly your chances of winning are not high, but since the number of tickets in an Art Union is finite, you have more chance of getting yourself a plane through the Art Union than through Lotto win. 

 

Just admit that when you pay your money you know you have Buckley's of winning, so call it a donation.

It seems that the Continental engine in the Cirrus S22 which is the prize in the Art Union likes to throw props. An SB is coming. The plane that is the prize here should have the SB deal with before handover.

I hope so.  I bought 4 tickets so I expect perfection when I pick it up.

What do you reckon is behind this very coy information from Continental? A batch of dodgy crankshafts?

 

Maybe their new, cute, all-automatic, random QC inspection machine, went out of spec?

UPDATE:

I spoke to the organiser. The prize aircraft was constructed AFTER  the 7th February end date, so the problem won't affect the prize aircraft.

I'm not saying AF is the same.

Most charities have a CEO on big money with a lot of overheads, a tiny percentage of donated funds actually get to where they should.

It's very hard to find lists of salaries of CEO's of charities. That could be my incompetence with a keyboard.

Phone calls saying they are calling for and on behalf of a charity are scam, they can take up to 75% of your donation for handling. Charities know of and use such tactics.

well this sounds like a big change for Angel Flight. They will need an AOC. CASA will be licking their lips!

The Angel Flight Art Union is fair dinkum. The NSW Permit No is GOCAU/2487 Go ask NSW Fair trading to confirm if you are not too paranoid to contact a Government agency.
