Funflight! What a Great Day!
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...-24331,00.html
Not sure what Funflight.com has to say, but I thought yesterdays event went off very well, I just hope the kids thought it went as well as I did.
Big thank you to sponsors and volunteers.
Thank you to the Weather God, it was almost dead still air with sunshine.
Highpoints included Pip Bormanns aerobatics and YMMB Tower trying to sequence and land a stack of aircraft arriving at the same time, which they did with their usual unflappable precision.
A great day, lets try the same next year!

When you live....
Hi YesTAM and everyone else involved yesterday,
Thankfully the weather held and once we got past the chaos of pilots finding families everything went smoothly (even impromptu PC12 repairs!).
YesTAM has noted some of the aviation highlights but the smiling faces of little kids as they wandered around Tyabb has to be the ultimate highlight. One story is of a very ill little boy, very nervous and quiet at the start of the day but with a big interest in flying in the RHS of a chieftan back into Moorabin with the most enormous grin on his face as the plane landed.
Perhaps other pilots could contribute their stories of the day? Both here and to the organisers?
From the organisers, a big thankyou to the following (mods, I know it's advertising but in the circumstances.....please?)
- Royal Vic Aero Club
- Peninsula Aero Club
- Angelflight
- AirBP (big fuel dontation)
- Moorabbin Airport Corporation
- Moorabin Tower (as eluded to above)
- Pip Borman
- the crew of Polair 33 and the Victorian police air wing
and of course the many many volunteers and pilots who ulitmately made the day what it was.
Finally, check out www.funflight.org (not funflight.com) over the next week or so where we hope to post stories and photos.
Watch this space - next year and going 'national' is being discussed!
Regards,
UTR.
