FlyingVizsla Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Got a slip with my membership renewal - its official - There will be a Queen's Birthday RAAus fly-in at Monto Qld 12-14 June 2010. We are packed and ready - just have to decide how many of our fleet we can get there. Down side is that the nights get really cold in June. Who else is coming?

FlyingVizsla Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nothing on the RAAus site yet so this is what I got in the mail - For aviators who can't make it to NATFLY-Temora, RA-Aus is holding the inaugural northern region fly-in. So come and support us and share the passion. Due to limited accommodation aviators are encouraged to bring camping gear. Enjoy Monto's diary festival and local wines, take a walk into nearby Cania Gorge National park or maybe search those gullies at Three Moon Creek for GOLD! There will be plenty of activities including forums, aviation exhibitors, and entertainment on Saturday and Sunday night, not to mention catering and bar facilities on site for that big thrirst. Full information in May issue of RA-Aus magazine For more information contact: Myles Breitkreutz 07 4937 1170 0418 198 016 Chris Ungermann 07 4778 8972 0412 421 040 If interested in becoming an exhibitor contact Mary [email protected] or phone 02 6280 4700 Weather averages for Monto Airport in June high 22.5 to low 5.7 degrees C, wind speed 9am 4.4km/h, 3pm 7.5km/h, mean rainfall 24.9mm, 2.9 rainy days. Monto also has its Monto Festival on at the same time (that's why accommodation is booked out), Rodeo, Street parade, Craft & art markets - surrounding towns have events on too. Airstrip is about 4.5km out of town, it does get below zero on some nights. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 The domain name nor-raaus has just been registered and it will either be a stand alone web site or point to the RAAus web site - just waiting on instructions from Chris on what he wants to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 The domain www.nor-raaus.com.au now points to the RAAus website and John Brandon is creating a page for it there with all the information on the RAAus Northern Flyin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Geee that's short notice. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Agreed, I have already booked to take the family away and would love to have attended. That said, at least RAA are putting something on for the more northerly folk - hope it is well supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Ian It has been entered into the Events Calender as "Northern Natfly". I suspect that there can or will be only one "Natfly", so do you yet know what is to be the official name and I'll see if we need to edit the Events calender.

Yenn Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 It is good to see this although I had been told it was to be on the May weekend, which I couldn't make. No fly in or display at Old Station this year, so I should be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 RA-Aus member notice board (W3C 01/10) A little more info and 1 month to go:thumb_up:. Well, hmmm, I've done a little shuffling of holiday plans and looks as though I am going to make it after all, best of all the change was at the instance of the minister for war and finance:big_grin:. Being a little deprived in the aircraft department(at the moment), I'm going to saddle up the company tractor and drive up (cheaper too) so once plans have firmed up, there is the possibility of my taking up a kitbag/tent or two for those (SEQ) that cannot fit them into their aircraft. Look forward to putting a few more faces to the names. Regards Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I will be, there.Same as spin, i will have room in the Patrol or (x-trail). For gear if required.Just let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Starting to sound as though there is going to be a good sized contingent from SEQ, never mind further afield. Looking forward to it, especially after seeing what I missed at Natfly, in the latest magazine. Keep an eye open for the article by our own Tomo to see what I'm talking about.:thumb_up: When are you leaving dazza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi Carl, i think Saturday morning early, and going inland up Brisbane Valley Hwy.I think the Traffic coastal will be a problem. I will just punch "Monto", in the Garmin Nuvi and let it lead the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I think you may have the right idea about the route, anyway I haven't seen the country beyond Nanango, so it might be interesting. I fed the two choices into whereis.com, inland is 4km longer and interestingly 5mins shorter - anything to avoid the Bruce on a long weekend!

Tomo Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I hope to be there on Saturday.... for the day only unfortunately due to other commitments I've been offered a Drifter, which I would love to take... but will mean I'll only be there a couple hrs before I have to head back i_dunno If the Lightning isn't getting used, I may consider that.... get the most of the day in that way! :thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DonningtonSmythe Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 This sounds like a job for "Gold Wing Airlines" again! Hoping to make it down and put some faces to names! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
