Just been told that it might be a long weekend in the Easter-May time period it goes to YLRE.
And also a chance its the 27th of January............don't you just love a rumour network!!!!
If anyone gets any firm info post it asap. Should be a good weekend to plan for!

Spoke to Longreach Council Mayor and CEO in Longreach this morning. Latest arrival date is Easter but that is not yet "firm".
The present Longreach Passenger Terminal remains. The B707 will be parked next to the B742 on the eastern side. Buildings have been removed, some cementing completed but the site is not yet finished.
It's looking like an Easter PPRuNe Bash in Longreach. Accommodation will be at an absolute premium. Headaches were dispensed freely in the early hours of the morning in the front bar of The Welcome Home Hotel in Eagle Street, on the day the B742 arrived.
Should I book the same venue again?

Chuck usually does make a show.......... 
We'll have some decorum this time!
Keep Easter in mind and we arrange something when the 707 arrival date becomes firm. That should also be the time for Easter in the Country so it will be a big weekend.

I see a LONG, very long weekend involved here. now its a race to see who can post the first TRUMOUR not RUMOUR on its actually arrival date, and then see who can get a motel booking before it becomes only that hotel under many millions of stars!

I would not be at all surprised to see it at AVV !!
remember it has some PR to do yet, which I would expect might include air to air with some other QF equipment and perhaps the Connie....?????
will have to wait and see, but I would have to agree it would not be prior to Easter at LRE and maybe even after if accom is tight there over that w/e!

'Twas INDEED an EXCELLENT little party; the chinese food was grouse and the ale flowed ever-so-freely.......
Don't quite remember ALL the details but I'm pretty sure the PPRUNE group managed a visit to all the libatious houses in LRE....except maybe Gaunty who was a little preoccupied with Chardonay and caviar at the toffs soiree...
It was a long trip home in the mighty Bonza the next day

Oh, God! I'd forgotten the Chinese restaurant episode! It was the Happy Valley Chinese Restaurant, 135 Eagle Street, Longreach....... and Chuck was in fine form!
As I write I'm in the office next door - just went out the front door, looked at the Happy valley Chinese Restaurant and the nighmares came flooding back.........
I'll see if I can get my mates from "the Regulator" to attend again. It was fun drinking their overnight allowance last time!
Thread drift I know - but you would not believe the rain out here. The Thompson River is flowing and Bedourie got seven inches over the past two days - more than they received in 2006. The country is so green!

well if you can believe one of the major flying mags, there is a good chance it will be at AVV
might also be a good plan to sit beside the harbour bridge on the 18th March during the bridge celebrations - never know what you might see!
