Spin Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Saw a flyer for it this morning; thanks to poor planning I've not been able to go to any before now, but am determined to rectify the ommission this time around. Here's the info per the RA-Aus website; Hosted by Darling Downs Sport Aircraft Assn. Inc, this fly-in has become an iconic event in the region and is the premier attraction for all types of aviation in southern Queensland. See various types, shapes, sizes & models of recreational, ultralight and homebuilt aircraft including sport, vintage, general aviation and any other flying machine. Come late pm Saturday, 12 for BBQ, drinks. Fly or drive in, see ERSA. On field camping, bring your swag. Advise for catering.

Tomo Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Always a pity that it's on a Sunday. If I'm free at all in the afternoon I may see if I can wander over in something. Assuming I'm not somewhere else doing something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Tyler Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I realize it's a long shot...but are there any RV-12 owners who might be flying their new a/c to Clifton? Would love to show some Aussie friends what one looks like. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Assuming I'm not somewhere else doing something! Well, I just thought I should mention... I won't be there this time. As I'm going to be away in Tassie that week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Time to bring this one to the top again, it's this weekend - a great pity that the forecast isn't a little more positive, ah well will have to keep a close eye on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottw Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Weatherzone paints an OK picture for the weekend over the downs Today (Sat.) they say we have a 40% chance of Storm activity of 1-5mm. and BOM says chance of possible shower activity Wind ESE @ 29km/hr /15knts early and staying around that for pretty much all weekend Sunday they say 30% chance of shower and Storm activity. But I guess the factor will be the cloud, will it hang ontop of the range with the moist easterly and a humidity of 87% early to 71% later in the day. That just screams fog and low cloud on the range! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I think you're calling that right Scott, I've even seen morning fog down on the low coastal ranges around here, so a bit higher and with all that moisture available..... Carl - in holding pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopdangler Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 looks like we might get there after all....depending on how much rain falls today..will know in the morning I guess...might see you there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopdangler Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well...just got back, was a good turn out with a good mix of raa and ga types. (Cirrus was me) realised on landing that I didn't take my camera so be good to see a few pics posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Souds good DD! I had my own bit of fun down here early this morning... A guy I got to know while down here in Tassie took me for a flight in his aircraft he built completely from scratch. And that was a Pietenpol! Powered by a Ford Model A engine. I'll try to attach a photo, but I'm on my phone so I'm not sure if it will work yet! Nah not working, if someone wants to who is on my facebook, they can attach the photos I got on there here if they like. A beautiful aircraft.
