I would be glad to give you info on the facilities available at Warburton (Western Australia), and for you to give me a call in Alice Springs.

If your in Adelaide, and in need of a few drinking partners, send me an email:

You could even catch us at the Aviation Institute on the odd occasion.

I really am bowled over by the GREAT response I've had. Think I've e-mailed everyone I could and replied to everyone who took time out to contact me.

Shame it's all been called off.

:eek:

Naaaah. Only kidding.

:p

Can't believe I leave England a week Saturday. It would all be like a wonderful dream if I wasn't so sh!t scared. Figured if I can fly OK from A to B, then B to C can only be easier. Can't it?

Only got three weeks with the Archer. And only a PPLer too. Probably bitten off more than I can chew. Will end up missing out so much as is the way of things, but hey, I've got a bundle of phone numbers and tons of inspiration. Apologies to any I don't call, keep an eye out for a thread when I get back. To those lucky(?) few that I get to meet, get those tinnies cold for me.

Thank you, and good night.

;)

WGW...it's me with the corrupted hotmail accout - or it only does it to some people though...others with the same ISPs as yours get messages just fine.

Have put a thread in computers and internet thread re the problem....

I also mentioned that if you want more info on the top end from the Kimberley eastwards to the QLD border, I have pages of GPS points of amazing gorges, the location of the best croc spotting, and good bush airstips beside great pubs if you want. I'll send it from another account I think though :)

Hey Capt Efis, does anybody drink at the "stute" any more?
Haven't seen any pilot types there for ages. :eek:

Ensure you do the Alice thing.
Old Man Emu likes a drink.
I'll vouch for that.

Shute Harbour/Airlie Beach.

But then again you are a married man... :eek: :D

compressor stall 23rd Aug 2001 05:55

The airfield is Shute Harbour.

Is is nestled in the hills and can be quite a demanding approach on windy days. Prior permission is required (as is a briefing on procedures of not overflying the Shute houses on departure, and where to do runups so you don't wake caravan park residents etc.). I don't have the aerodrome operator's number on me, but it should be in the ALA guide.

Failing that call Island Air Taxis who operate from there and they should be able to pass on the details.

The cafe there does a damn good toasted ham and cheese sandwhich too. :D

Is the said subject of the seeing joining you on tour?

compressor stall 23rd Aug 2001 06:44

or chatting to beer and doing girlies :eek:

GoGirl 23rd Aug 2001 07:03

Having met you both...I'd say the latter is almost a certain probablity :D

GG :p
