Powerin Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Check out Lightning 7149, it is there. I didn't see your post before I left Bill....but I certainly did see your Lightning. Very nice! Not sure that undercarriage could handle a farm strip though Natfly was very quiet compared to the last couple years in every respect, but still a nice range of aircraft to look at and people to meet. It was nice to meet Maj Millard and Winsor68 and admire Maj's Lightwing. Also met bubbleboy and a few past forum members. I went for a demo ride in an Atec Zephyr. Very nice aircraft....well worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akromaster Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Talking about demo flights, did anyone go up in the Sportcruiser? Apparently they were going to have demo flights available today (Saturday) - I had to leave early so missed out. Ak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingVizsla Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have only just found the Natfly Webcam and now kicking myself as the show is all over, except for a few departures, the odd car and person. Next year .... Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howard Hughes Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks for the gret pictures, especially the gyro's! Sadly I was working (again) over Easter, oh well maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I found the webcam on Thursday and never gave it another thought, wasn't very exciting on Thursday morning pointing up the field to the north, I guess they redirected it once the show started to bubble.

FlyingVizsla Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 What Natfly webcam Sue ... and where? Here - http://www.natfly.com.au/webcam/ It refreshes every 30 seconds at the moment, but will go back to its usual place at the museum and 15min refresh. I didn't notice it (or it wasn't there) when I went looking at the Natfly site - it isn't through the menu - it is a link on the side panel. The site needs a bit more info, photos, news from site, while the event is happening. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotdave69 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Had a great flight down , arriving in Jab 7525 at 945am, nice headwind when departing bathurst, although dropped back after Cowra! Took 1 hr 15min, pretty smooth the whole way also, approach was quite easy using 23 , very well orgnised for my first fly in! Love the day, wind on ground was suprising, wife never bought jacket, bit cold, warmed up nicely later though. Love the selection of aircraft around, wish had more $$$$$$ The Lightning , very nice, Tecman 2008 took my eye also. So many i could easily take home! Flight home was a little quicker with a nice tailwind, departing 2pm, home by 303.. tracked via Wyangala Dam back to YBTH. Look forward to next year!

Admin Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Sorry guys but these are the only pics I have: The OzRunways tent (that was next to ours) on top of another tent With the help of Steve Runciman and Dave Caban, we managed to get the sides off our tent and lower it down on top the stock when the front hit and the AWPA tent, which was on the other side of us went tumble-weeding up the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently one tent, half dozen people and about 3 or 4 aircraft attended the event, as seen by it. Would have been better marketing to not have had one!

rankamateur Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 To add anything the webcam needed to be pointed back up to the south sometimes since that is where 90% of the exhibit are, but don't lose sight of the mighty dollar. The webcam was aimed at the Silver and Gold sponsors sites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidh10 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 ...The webcam was aimed at the Silver and Gold sponsors sites! What? The plain white tent with nothing written on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 That is Jabiru (Silver Sponsor) regular spot I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluey the fly Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 G day Winsor I was with Ross prior to your departure this morning in the came kitchen, he is a wealth of knowledge and I could have listened to his adventures all day.
