[Jim lovell]

USAF Thunderbirds will be the main event, putting on a 1 hour display of formation flying/aerobatics with their F-16's!

[gaunty]

Geez I'd like to see that
Gotta go see eldest daughter in Brissy about then hmmmmmmm adds up frequent flyers....
And if they bring on the F111s then I'm definitely there.
Is there going to be a PPRuNe marquee??

[AMRAAM]

Allright Gaunty, i'm with you.

You bring the marquie and I'll bring the keg.

Sounds like a great show, just hope it don't rain again, like 98 !!!!!!!!!

[gaunty]

Well lets organise this.
An Amberley PPRuNe bash is as good an excuse as any.

[Keg]

I'm involved in a push for the Airshow and would love to hook up with some of the othe PPRUNERS. Saturday is the go for me!!

Name the place and the time!

Nunc est bibendum

[gaunty]

Saturday is good.

I'll get my mate to bring his Winjeel up.

[GoGirl]

I think you can count Disco-Stu and GG for that sort of a gathering...it's just happens that we have a Fly-in at Redcliffe arranged for the weekend before that (Geez...I hope it's the weekend B4 )

Love to see you all there anyway

Cheers GG

[gaunty]

Bugger..Bendo would be furious.

And thats where my mates Winjeel will be too.

The Scone Home Page says they might have the F16s there anyway.....Hmm working out how to get from Amberley to Scone.
Lets see, 7 degrees of latitude x 60 = 350nm/Hertz Rentacar >= Coriolis~Planck constant, mutter, mutter, +/- Chandrasekar Limit to the 11th power going towards 'n', where 'n' is the number of PPRuners who can dance on the head of the new PPRuNe badge, here lend me that confuser for a mo........., ah.. I don't spose anybody is going to be flying down that way, just in case this doesn't work out.

Pick the tandem skydive...

[nasa]

Now I'm in for that IF I can get back from the states in time.....gaunty..... NBAA is on New Orleans around late September, and that's one hell of an airshow, albeit only commercial stuff, but it's me one favourite per year....would be good to go back to the old base....I wonder if they will have the p1ss shack open for me

Happy the man and he alone, for he can call today his own, he who secure within can say.....Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.....

Fellow PPruners,

Certainly sounds like a big weekend! I will be working / staying out there the whole time, and if there is enough interest, I could look into organising an appropriate venue for a few beers - potentially the O's mess, or even one of our maintenance hangars. Not sure what's going to be on offer as far as public bars go, but if it's anything like Avalon, probably not much. Something on the base or squadron side might be more comfortable.
Will find out and advise options....

In Contrast,

Scone will have a fully licenced public-access bar

[gaunty]

In Hope

But is there a "Boxing Tent" and will "A Touch of Class" have a stand so to speak

[Dash1]

Bendo,
Who's setting off I mean bringing the fire extinguishers?

[F111]

I'll be there Saturday, just need an extended leave pass from Mrs F111 for Saturday night.
