Mick Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 No mention of fine RC models.You must be slipping Mick! If CASA play the game and give the approval, there might just be a display of a 30% scale model of Matt Hall's race plane:whistling: Should complement Matt's own display well.

Yenn Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Latest is that there will be a display Sat at 3pm for 1 hour. It will probably be warbirds mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 No reason for CASA to be there. This is a Fly-in ( not an airshow ) with some displays, on a private strip. CASA have not been there since the airshow was dropped. The application for permit to fly a model never even went to CASA, we were unable to come up with a position to have the model display that would meet CASA's requirements. See You there!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Just bumping this thread to remind everyone this great event is now less than a week away. I was out at Old Station yesterday, preparations are coming along well. We are expecting a big crowd. The sit down dinner Friday night is sold out, if you are planning on getting there Friday there will be other food available. I will be there from Wednesday onwards. See you there!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Further update......... I made the big flight of 22.3 nm from Gladstone in the Skylark this morning in beautiful air. Plenty of interesting aircraft here already including Trojan, Texan, Yak 52, L39 Albatross, Bird Dog and of course Matt Hall's Extra 300L. There is a gaggle of Lightwings, a pair of Petrels and a bunch of Savannahs. As far as GA goes there is the expected Cessnas, a Lake Buccaneer, a Bonanza & a Commanche. Great dinner tonight, followed by an interesting talk by Matt Hall. I got to meet Matt personally and got my 30% scale model of his race plane signed. Hopefully get some pics tomorrow with Matt, myself, his Extra & my model. The weather is looking good so it is shaping up to be a great weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well, what a great event. Definitely a must do for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Pukallus Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just returned home from one of the best weekends and flyins at The Old Station, unsurpassed entertainment throughout the weekend for flyers and non flyers. Even the photos don't do Justice to this huge event organised by Leonie Creed and her massive team. Weather perfect with warm days and nights unlike the past few years, Matt Hall was inspirational in all areas of presentations throughout the weekend. In excess of 80 aircraft and 50 + caravans / Motorhomes, the weekend went off like clockwork, Doug Mc Cullough arrived with 6 other planes from their flying holiday in nearby Great Keppel Island, members of the QRAA club, to enjoy and support The Old Station Flyin. Great to catch up with old mates and meet amazing pilots and their aircraft from all aspects of aviation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To everybody else, if you missed this event, you have the permission of those of us who went, to feel sorry for yourself. It's definitely on my ToDo list for next year.

Mick Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 In excess of 80 aircraft We actually logged the arrival of just over 150 aircraft . It was my wife doing the meet & greet of arriving aircraft. Thanks to all who attended, what a great weekend. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
