alf jessup Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Nev Nice man Archer2 I'm sure he will fill us all in on his flying life as after meeting him in the caravan park we stayed at I didn't get a lot of time to chew the fat so to speak as we were busy Had a nice chat with Rod and his wife before leaving but it just wasn't enough Got him on this site though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer2 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 T Welcome Rod. I know the place well. Used to fly a Tiger Moth to there, from Newcastle in the 60's. Tell us about your flying. Nev Thank you Nev for your welcome. I started my flying instruction when I was 18 at Gloucester & Taree, NSW. Later achieving my PPL & then my RAAus licenses. I have enjoyed my flying immensely over the years. My wife, whom I met when I was 15 & she was 13 have enjoyed flying over most of eastern Australia in a Piper Archer 2 in which we were shareholders & a Cessna 172 XP. I have just recently completed my Biannual on GA & RAAus. Hoping to continue flying until I am at least 70, which is only 3 years away. Regards, Rod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf jessup Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm thinking there is a few more good years in you after 70 for flying Rod, that is of course if you keep to the coastal warmth of Port Mac and not the frigid inland areas of NSW like we are Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe travelling. Rod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRamsay Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Been freezing for several days. Mind you, anything below 15 deg C is considered freezing around here. We had a day at Newcastle Beach where the temp never got above 13 deg and everyone was shocked! Rod, if you ever want to come down to the Hunter Valley, let us know you are coming and call in to YCNK Cessnock. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Hi Don, Thank you very much for your welcome. We are currently caravanning at Bonny Hills & it has been cold here during the evening. I have flown into Maitland & Scone quite a few times but not Cessnock, but you never know what the future can bring. Thanks for the invitation. Happy & safe flying, Cheers Rod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRamsay Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 YMND is easier in a strong Westerly or raging NE winds but YCNK with RWY 35 (default) and RWY 17 for Southerly winds is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRamsay Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Its a big flash one on the Eastern side of Cessnock Airport. Now owned by Cessnock Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Love the look of the hangar ... one off design by the look and designers delight ... but clearly not the lowest cost build to undertake ... but WOW ... can you ask if they do them in kit form now that the engineering and fabrication is sorted? Would be worth it just to to see the look on the face of the council engineer when they get the planning application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
