slartibartfast Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It didn't go quite according to plan, but I got there. Had to wait for the trough to pass, and give the line of rain time to move further northeast. Left Goulburn at 13:00 to arrive in the middle of the open window between air shows. Had to go through some light showers, but had a good line to YWOL. The main storm and nastiness was not far north of Wollongong, and stayed not far away all afternoon. Those tracking north for home would have had an interesting time. Got accosted immediately on arrival by forum members Deadstick and Barefootpilot. It was really good to meet you guys. JustFred brought me my wrist band not long after. Great service. It was an excellent day as usual. Lots of people and planes. I missed the Roulettes, but that was more than compensated by seeing and hearing the F/A-18. What a show! Lots of other goodies. Had a filled card in the camera until I got a chance to delete a few, so not that many shots (only 114). Here's a few. [ATTACH]10026.vB[/ATTACH] Barefootpilot's ride. Lucky bugger Adam.

flying dog Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yes, it was a good show. I left though about 14:20 - didn't want to get stuck in the traffic leaving. BTW, did you see a Caribu there? I certainly didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefootpilot Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It was a good event and nice to catch up with a few people from here. I'm lucky to have a good boss who doesn't mind me borrowing the aircraft occationally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sharp End Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Didn't make it this year - the Hunter is U/S at the moment so no chance of deafening anyone... mind you, after blowing over Mazda last year they probably wouldn't have wanted me! ;) Thanks for the photos guys.
