Post Warbirds Over Scone is GO

Well all the dramas have been resolved and we will now have one of the biggest Warbird rollouts ever seen in NSW if not Australia on Sunday September 30th, 2001.

Yes, the same day as Amberley.

We are offering:
  • Gold Passes
  • Discounted Fly-in admission
  • Camping Facilities
  • New movement areas and Taxiways
  • Choreographed Pyrotechnic/Combat display

Admission is a flat $5 for the practice day (Saturday) when there will be joyflights available in a Strikemaster; you could WIN a joyflight in the Strikemaster just by buying the souvenir Magazine.

Details on the website:
www.sconewarbirds.org

Look forward to seeing you all there!

What about the offer of a dedicated PPRuNe marquee for all the PPRuNers who will undoubtedly attend, if only to share a drink or two with you Bendo?

BENDO ... eveytime I go to Birdsville I see that BLOODY sticker that you have left there. It will be forever ingrained in my memory, every last detail.

What date was it again?

Sorry to say Bendy, but the Stu-ster and I will be unable to attend

Will you take couple of pictures though?

And if Apache is going....well LOOK OUT SCONE (hide yer Bacon and Eggs, I'm told , oh, and yer wives/daughters/mothers/grandmothers, and yer BEER)

Regards and regrets,
GoGirl

BSB, are you taking the Baron up? If so, are you going to be looking to fill it??

Bendo, got the email re camping, thanks. The only problem is that the number of people in our party keeps changing, so we are at present harrassing all of the local motels.

Come rain, hail or shine....

GoGirl, there is ALWAYS a seat for you. (And Disco Stu). All you need do is ask!
To answer your question though, I do have seats available from Melbourne if anyone wants one.
BSB

ps. This could qualify as an OZBASH 2002 practice run!!

Pachie sweety, you know I love you dearly

And BSB, you are too kind But sadly I shall have to decline...which is a shame, as I hear your little beast is a very comfortable ride, and knowing the person that you are, I've no doubt that you would be the Host with the Most

Ahh well, maybe someone out there will be in it....

Cheers

Hey peoples, I am just dropping a note to say I will be up at the warbird's. it is only a two and a half hour drive from where I live but there are a few people wanting to go neway... It would be cool to meet some ppruners. I guess the bar will have to be a meeting point of course... neway will see people there hopefully!

Hiya Bendo,

I am curious to hear of the compromise you made with the lying and backstabbing chaps at Amberley. Been the diplomatic and professional chap that you are I don't expect a reply but it would be nice to know of the dirty politics...

Good luck with it all! I'm from Brissie but wouldn't miss Scone for anything.

No compromises were made - Ministerial directives were issued. Airshows Downunder gave no quarter and we hear DAILY from people who have been told various misthruths by the organisers of Amberley.

These misthruths usually concern Number and quality of the aircraft scheduled to come to Scone, Rumours of cancellation or moved dates.

I am very disappointed that Airshows Downunder (whose origins are very similar to Warbirds Over Scone) would behave in such a manner, as are the many Warbird owners who have chosen to come to Scone in preference to the big bucks at Amberley.

We would like to thank you all for your ongoing support!


Cheers

Bendo

Dash 1,

PPRuNers being what they are, I imagine many of them would gather in the Fully Licenced BAR while others hang out in the GOLD PASS enclosure.

Lots of aircraft parking for GA and discounted admission for Fly-in guests.

As for car displays... well I believe there will be some vintage car groups there (but it really isn't my bag... baby.)

Better shade, more "refreshments" than 1998.

I think Bendo would Spew if he saw that comment there - especially after all the nice things he said about you and your family when you were in San Francisco!
