AUSFLY 2013 YNRM 12-15th September 2013

[AUSFLY 2012]

We're back for another great time in the western plains of NSW at the historic Narromine airfield for another Ausfly fly in.

We were asked for several improvements over last year, and we have adopted them wherever possible. No we did not get around to building a Hilton Hotel :} but the ever popular B&B homestay system is growing and there should be more accomodation around this year.

There is an extra day, starting Thursday, air displays on Friday and Saturday 2pm-4pm. The Ausfly dinner function and a wonderful inspirational guest speaker (and under 20 years of age too! :ok:)

Did anyone mention....... QBE sponsored display by Matt Hall :D

Matt Hall Racing (http://matthallracing.com)

Different seminars and workshops, more and varied exhibitors.......more news to come in the following weeks.

Book in early or you will miss out for accomodation and for the Ausfly dinner, this was a sell out last year and was 25% over-subscribed. (we promise the gas heaters this year too ;))

Details found at www.ausfly.com.au (http://www.ausfly.com.au) and updates will be made in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for changes.

And weather permitting, The Wright Flyer Replica :ok: will be taking to the skies, albeit low level. The last time was its debut in 2005, and Narromine went mad that weekend.

[Jack Ranga]

[AUSFLY 2012]

but for now a sample of activities, workshops and seminars that are coming to Ausfly 2013.


Mr J Ranga, Be patient Sir! ;)

Sunday, sleep in after the Saturday night dinner function (book tickets now, they are not available at the door and it was sold out last year), breakkie, pack up and head home.

[Jack Ranga]

Mate, I've been 6 years patient ;)

I'll get the other guys lined up for dinner!

[AUSFLY 2012]

Extra's for Mr JR and friends.

Some of the workshops will be of interest to builders however the engine workshops, Wheel's Brakes etc and the CAO 100.5 should be of interest to all pilots and aircraft owners as some items come under Schedule 8, and others they should know what their LAME is doing and why.

News items

Air Show Closer to Crowd at AUSFLY (http://www.australianflying.com.au/news/air-show-closer-to-crowd-at-ausfly)

[Ultralights]

whats the plan if you wish to fly in for the short term, arrive Sat, and depart Sunday, and wish to camp underwing beside your aircraft?

[AUSFLY 2012]

Dear ultralights,

You are most welcome, however download the pilot information for more details.

Camping under your wing, literally can only be done in section A, and by Saturday that may well be 100% full, unless someone vacates. Take your chances. Parking is fine in C & D however you will need to put your tent up in the camp area. The benefit of that is you are closer to all the ammenities and not subject to DAMP rules if you have a cold beverage at the aero club.

Camping fees are very cheap and payable to the NTP. They provide all the ammenities and service them so campers please do the right thing.

Dinner function is a must so have a great weekend. But book now.

[AUSFLY 2012]

Announcing the official guest speaker for AUSFLY 2013's Saturday night Gala Dinner function is Ryan Campbell, back in Australia and soon to be the world record holder for the youngest person to fly solo around the world.

Dinner function tickets can be booked online at https://saaa.memnet.com.au/MemberSelfService/EventBooking.aspx?selectedEventId=1 Register your name and details first, and proceed to the bookings online shop. Bookings close around the 6-7th of September or when sold out.

[Kieran17]

I'm planning on taking a C172 up departing Kyneton, up on Thursday and back on Sunday. Throw the swag and a chair in the back and camp on field for the weekend.
I don't have any passengers yet so I have room for one or two others. If anyone from the Melbourne region wants to do a bit of cost sharing send me a PM and we'll see if we can sort something out. It'll be about four hours each way, probably stop half way for snacks and such.

Cheers Folks
Kieran

[AUSFLY 2012]

Just a little taste of the flying display by Paul Bennet :ok:

Onboard with Paul Bennet - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PKWXfLbzAI&feature=youtu.be)

[AUSFLY 2012]

Hurry up and book Saturday night tickets, the last week has seen a massive increase in ticket sales, and there is probably sub 50 or less available.

I can see scalpers hanging around the registration tent again this year.

Get in quick or miss out.

Subtle progamme changes too. Check the website for the 4/9/13 version tomorrow.

[Jack Ranga]

AUSFLY, There's a fella doing a display in a Decathlon isn't there? I think he performed at Avalon this year right?

[Jack Ranga]

Have a look at this you lot:

[Aviater]

Thanks Jabawocky. But I'm looking for a Friday night or Saturday morning ride.

Cheers

[Jabawocky]

Weather is really good! :D

Planes arriving already!

Looking forward to a great weekend.

[Kieran17]

Still looking for a last minute co-flyer from Melbourne/Victoria region. I'm taking a club c172 up, with a second person it'll cost just $80p/h wet...
If you're interested let me know. I'm happy to pick up along the way also between Kyneton and Narronmine if you're Sheparton, Narrandera or Griffith or somewhere between here and there...


Thanks All
Kieran

[Jack Ranga]

Good luck mate :ok:

[Captain Garmin]

Arrived today.

Weather, program, camaraderie and early attendance looks set to top last years great event.

Hospitality, beer and grub at the gliding club is brilliant again too!

Tip : if you're coming, buy your Sat dinner tickets now as I'm hearing they'll be sold out prior again. :ok:

Enjoy the show!

CG

[Jabawocky]

And the weather is awesome.

Beryl & Arnies cooking at the Gliding club has been awesome :ok: Best T-Bone I have had in a long time.

If in doubt grab your swag and get out here.

[DWB50]

I flew in yesterday to attend the RAA AGM. I was surprised at the lack of people in attendance, compared to last years Friday, when I returned to the field just before the aero displays finished. I departed as soon as the displays finished, which were running late which is not good for folk who plan around the NOTAM published times.

[Jabawocky]

The published NOTAMS were through till 16:00 local, if you took careful note, the show finished by then.

So nobody should have been disadvantaged at all.

Why didn't you stay?

Weather in the South, South West, and South East has been ordinary and lots of folk could not make the trip who had booked and planned.

Was still a great weekend, with a quality attendance. :D

[Jabawocky]

I do not know the photographer, but I was sent this last night. Nice pic's

[Aye Ess]

*HUMPH*....A few things to remind you of...

1. I was hoping you had forgotten that you already told me that
2. Pprune bullying-----> Australia says NO.
3. I'm concerned my 1965 Vauxhall Viva towing the 10' Chesney,might not make it.

But one day.....

[Jack Ranga]

Jabba, can I, can I, can I please join the RV formation team??

[DBTW]

I loved the RV formation! Callsign "Snow Goose"... :ok:
