April 30 and May 1 2016

 

Given the unseasonal weather we have been experiencing this year I'm planning to go but I won't be surprised if the weather gets the best of everything again.

 

Or will it be third time lucky?

 

This note from the website which should be read in its entirety:

Pilot registration will close at 5:00 pm on Friday 23rd April, 2016 unless space is filled prior, in which case pilot registration will close earlier.

Would also like to go. How hectic is the traffic for fly ins at this one? (asking as a low hour PPL).

Same traffic as Clifton or Evans Head I imagine. The WOI website link above has a 3 page pilot briefing which will explain a bit. Visiting YWOL when there is no air show would be a benefit as would be taking someone to help look out for conflicting traffic. Thinking carefully about the last 10 miles inbound helps me a lot.

 

I get the low time pilot thing. I took an instructor the first couple of times to air shows

Thanks bud. I've been through the fly in guide off their website which was pretty comprehensive.

 

I think the trip with the instructor for familiarity seems like a good idea. Makes life easier when you fighting on the radio and dodging traffic if you are at least vaguely familiar with the field.
