BJFly Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi All, A reminder that the Childers fly in Breaky is on the 6th Feb. The more the merrier, so drag your baby out of the hangar and plot a course for Childers. Here's a write up from our last Breaky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFly Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi All, The airfield at Childers has held up surprisingly well, in fact aircraft were flying today. The first 80m at the eastern end is closed with a displaced threshold marked with white tyres. Looks like the weather will clear but there will be a moderate SE breeze. The cooked Breaky will be on regardless so fly, drive, ride or walk, all welcome on Sat 0730-1000hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Communications Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have found over the last 12 months this site to be extremely accurate especially at the heights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJFly Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi all, it's Fri afternoon 1700hrs and I just inspected the airfield. It's in good condition except for the first 80m at the eastern end. It's a mixed forecast for tomorrow but if you do happen to get here the airfield is okay. I will update the Isis flying club Facebook page early in the morning. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Unfortunately we are going to miss this again. The weather is out of my comfort zone (in the sense that I can't make heads or tails of what it's going to do) so I'm going with the safe option. Really disappointed as we really wanted to go. Next time for sure... Maybe Gympie on Sunday ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFly Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi all, As of 0630 it is overcast, 5kts SE breeze, hasn't rained yet but certainly looks threatining. Not a nice day for flying. Breaky is on for those who live nearby and wish to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff13 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Sorry that I didn't make it but obviously the weather made staying on the ground a far better proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems Geoff, catch you next time. I'd be interested to see a picture of the C140 and hear how your familiarisation goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
