Caveat: I am not associated in any way with this event or the organisers.

 

Anyone interested? Looks like flying to Wollongong would be _very_ attractive as the organisers are strongly encouraging people to take the train. Plus flying gets you parking on the airfield (I think).

 

Err for me, by train would be 4.5 hours each way from Canberra

From the past ones it always seems like a lot of fun.

...if a little cold at first. The notam is a bit ambiguous, Sez that

 

NO FLIGHT PERMITTED WITHOUT APPROVAL OF CONTROLLING AUTHORITY

 

SHOALHAVEN CITY COUNCIL TEL 0411 145 077 OR WOLLONGONG UNICOM 127.3

 

Which I am totally cool with, but did they mean during the pageant or the whole two day air show?

 

Anyways, note to self to drop a dime on the listed number while still on the ground at Goulburn just to let them know we are coming!

Mmkay, I went to WOI and I was glad I did. Looking at the Notam (in colour thanks to OzRunways) and the notam specified only during the pageant. I am still learning to use all the features of OzRunways. Two facts I could not determine easily on the day:

 

1) Entry was free for anyone who arrived via the active runway

 

2) Ground Frequency would have been handy to know

 

Can anyone point me to the location of this information either on or prior to the day?
