I'm going to be taking the Archer to Mudgee for their 'Wings, Wheels and Wine' event (Wings Wheels & Wine (http://wingswheelsandwine.com.au/)) this coming weekend, and I have a couple of spare seats (and limited luggage space, planning on buying some wine) on offer for fellow aviation enthusiasts.
The plan is to leave Archerfield at dawn Saturday to be there for the start of the air show at around 10, alternatively -- NVFR weather permitting -- a Saturday pre-dawn or Friday evening departure. Returning Sunday. Weather is not looking too bad, should be a great flight via coastal or inland routes.
Accommodation is scarce around Mudgee that weekend, so camping or a friend's bush cabin (Sat only) are the alternatives at this point.
Cost sharing for the flight according to your means, min. share of the fuel (30-35l/hr@~$1.50/l, ca. 7-9 hrs. flying), max. share of actual operating costs of $160/hr.
If you're interested, please PM or post here.
