AUSFLY 2012 Narromine NSW 13-16 September
The Australian Aviation scene has been longing for an Oshkosh inspired kind of fly in, we have Natfly for the light end of the scale, Avalon for the heavy metal, but the vast majority of private and sport aviation has had nothing to serve as an annual get together, sharing of knowledge and education, exhibition of latest products and some all round good entertainment and fostering of goodwill.
Several major private and sport GA groups have gotten together or are supporting this launch of what could become the annual fly in for all private and sport pilots, be they a drifter, gyro, glider, warbird, ballon, certified C152 to Beech B200 or anywhere inbetween pilot/owner.
This thread is to be an information resource, so please keep the posts on topic.
For details and information as they unfold, please keep an eye on www.ausfly.com.au
If you are reading this, consider yourself invited!
This event is a not for profit event, and if we all get behind it we can create history by attending the very first, and begin something that can grow into an annual event like the EAA have done over the last 50 years.
Any questions please post them here, for any organisations wishing to participate or contribute in any way, please PM us.

6 weeks to go!
Some news and tips for everyone attending.
Convention Dinner | AUSFLY Narromine 13-16 Sept 2012
The formal dinner function is already 50% prebooked and we expect the next 6 weeks will see a higher rate of bookings, so be part of that rush, as you will not avoid it!
Air displays will now be on the Friday evening as well, 4pm onwards, so that is 50% more than we previously promised. We have a variety of displays from large RC Jets to L39 Jets Gliders to P51 Mustangs and The awesome Hawker Fury of David Warburton (ppruner no less).
Hawker Fury
Add to this aerobatic displays by Tony Blair, Paul Bennet and Rainer Huefner.
And did I hear you say you wanted more? OK, how about the brave and fearless test pilot Keith Englesman flying the WRIGHT FLYER!
Don't miss out on the start of something big. Sure it will not be as huge as Oshkosh, just yet, but let's give it a go anyway!
See you there.

Click on the Where to Stay | AUSFLY Narromine 13-16 Sept 2012
Nita can book you in for a supplied tent site with bunks, just bring your sleeping bag and a pillow
See you there.....should be some good rum fueled fun
I have booked my dinner tickets already, I was told that due catering there can be no walk up purchases. So if you don't book for the formal dinner, the aero club and gliding club is the go.
This should be a good social outing, as Jack the Ranga says, get up there! I have a few mates doing flying displays and from what I know it should be good stuff.

Program of events, seminars and workshops now on the www.ausfly.com.au website.
Unfortunately the Fury has had to pull out, but there are plenty of others to entertain.
The flying programme has DOUBLED! Instead of 2 x 1.5 hours we have now gone to 3 x 2 hour format, with the first display Friday afternoon from 3.30pm and two on Saturday.
The Wright Flyer Replica has its new C of A, and all going well will be flying, conditional on weather.
One item on the programme which on the face of it looks like a Experimental category workshop is going to be of great benefit to aircraft owners in not only experimental category but also those owners who have Certified aircraft. AD ENG4 and what is required, plus what else you should be doing. Having the owner educated and able to work (not necessarily hands on) with the LAME is a vital means of improving the service work done, and the understanding of the owner on exactly what condition his power plant is in.
This workshop is going to be conducted by Australia's leading engine LAME Mr Andrew Denyer from Riverina Airmotive in Adelaide.
Check the programme, and do not miss this one!
Entertainment is now confirmed for both Friday & Saturday night and there will be some fuel vouchers to win courtesy of Aero Refuellers. So sharpen up your singing voice! When the pro's give you a go, there will be high value prizes to battle for. Without all the fuss of the TV show.

Hey check this out, link sent to me about Cirrus.
AusFly 2012 - Australia | Facebook
Even Cirrus are into FB marketing. And I don't "do" FB. I may have to learn it if this is the way even aviation manufacturers are heading. Dick Van Grunsman now has all their media releases and his wise articles on there too. I must be missing something

Win a Dynon D1 at AUSFLY
Great News!
Horsham Aviation and Dynon Avionics are pleased to annouce the donation of a new Dynon D1 to be raffled at AUSFLY 2012.
For more information see the Dynon press release and information page.
While CASA does approve fitting a Dynon D6/D10A in a certified aircraft in PVT operations, for non private ops, the D1 is a very good emergency tool that can be moved from plane to plane.
Dynon Avionics - SkyView 3.3 Released
Dynon Avionics - The D1 Pocket Panel
Well done Horsham Aviation and Dynon

Sort of Ultralights, the long term parking is at the SE corner of the parking area, the BYO camping will be along the boundary behind your plane, this way we can squeeze in as many aircraft as we can, and still keep BYO campers within short range of both the aircraft and the ammentities block.
You must pay some camping fees to cover all the ammentities etc, see Nita at the Narromine Tourist park on arrival.
By the surge in pre-registration and dinner bookings, we believe this will be a good turn out!
If this is the first go, imagine what 5 years will transform into.
