Geoff they are professional, I was surprised you can't get onto Free Emerald, I rang them this morning, they have been at Mt Isa for a few days but back now and replying to your email.

Hi Geoff, I'm sure that Damien at GoFly could always fly to Caloundra and pick you up, both airfields use the same training area as are 18nm apart. Give him a call, I did my 3 Axis with Zane and Navs with Damien and happy to recommend.

Congrats Winsor

No matter what the timing is - you will

My Dad served after the bombing of Darwin at Adelaide River south of Darwin, records state that 250,000 troops were sent there in case of what might happen. About 5 years ago I visited the area to 'have a look' but nothing realy left except the ox out of Crocodile Dundee stuffed in the '303 Bar" at the local Pub. A local pointed me to a site not far away called Snake Gully, I found it and it looked liked the allies drove out 60 years ago, old boom gate and the site was used for storing explosives. There was a railway network and about 15 storage bunkers buried in the side of the hills. Large buildings since dissapeared courtesy of the termites but with large blast walls still evident. Back down in this part of the world we still have remenants of "Fort Bribie", Fort Rous and Cowan Cowan on Moreton Island. That Ozatwar site is full of plenty of this sort of stuff. For example a northern suburb of Brisbane "Strathpine" was home to 3 airfields and a large Training base for Spitfires with unfortunate records of mid air collisions etc. Now Suburban the Taxiways are named Beaufort, Blenheim etc and the Runway is Spitfire Ave. Now - 27 17' 41.56"S 152 59'26.11"E and Then - http://www.ozatwar.com/ozatwar/petrie01.jpg

You should pay more attention, there were a couple of good points in that video.........

Here is some on Oz and Pacific, great site, careful you can get lost in here for days - http://www.ozatwar.com/airfields.htm

the Plane is going to have red on it, you must have a soft spot for Ranga's :)

What a difference a day makes. was on Volunteer Duty public parking on Saturday, surprisingly about a hundred vehicles but showers drizzle on and off and about a 300' ceiling. Not a single aircraft in or out. Went back at 2pm today, planes people everywhere, joy flights taking off and landing every few minutes in Nanchang, Jab's, Trojan, Antonov, Gazelle,Technams, Powered Gliders, De-Haviland Dragon - a feast for the public, even saw a pitts do some aero work. I'm sure the organisers breathed a sigh of relief.

A fellow Pilot, giving of himself for a good cause, a young girl. Very sad, hopefully the Mother will pull through................................ Very Sad

Congrats Red:clap:

Hi Peter, I figure you live in Queensland but still support the Blues. Chap lives at Beerwah and has a factory built and is working towards CFI. Is away at present, back in a week or two, if your interested reply and i'll PM contact details. NB: Note the saying below:big_grin:

Yes, it comes with a USB cord allowing you to charge/run on 12v and also sync.

Details of CFI at Innisfail, if he doesn't hire he may know who does http://www.auf.asn.au/schools/ftf709.html

Yeah without the adds and going back over the same ground, over and over, waiting for the last couple was like pulling teeth. Having said that some pretty interesting strips there, no problems for a Savannah even at high altitude.

The trips half over, just has to get from the wharf to your place via customs:oh yeah: Looking at the site and pics, can't see if it has dual ignition.

You may get some more info from - http://www.ppgaustralia.com/ Recently watching the antics of the PPG's at Inglewood, like everything else, the experienced flyers made take off look easy while the newbies were entertaining.
