Guest pelorus32 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I agree with Mike. Jerilderie at 67nm from Echuca that's about an hour in the Jab on a calm day ;).Paul Calm day? That'd need a screaming southerly wouldn't it? :big_grin: Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well it took an hour because I had a 15 knot headwind AND I forgot to take the handbrake off. Runway a bit bumpy, not very wide, but met a very friendly fellow (Andrew Dunn, AG Flite) who made me most welcome. (Luvly cuppa) regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Time to get this thread going again. I hope you guys/gals heading for Natfly have your cameras at the ready to post a few more en route airstrips here. Give the camera to you pax, be safe. Here's another to get you guessing again. No clues this time. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelorus32 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Adaminaby??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Right on sailor ;). How'd you pick it so soon? It's usually dry and brown here so I thought being so green would throw you guys off the scent. Maybe it was talk of our fly day and pics of Eucumbene ... too easy. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Watch this space. Adaminaby will be the centre of the regional flying scene once the hangars and clubhouse go up. We now have full ownership of the airfield. When Paul put his CT (I think he said it stands for Childs Toy) on the ground there were 5 aircraft there and about 20 people at the meeting. We plan lots of fun reasons for you all to drop in. It's a lovely area for flying. Onward and upward. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen it on another picture - albeit all brown looking. So I checked on the Snowy Mountains Aviators site and the roads looked right so voila... Are you going to Narromine? Look forward to seeing you there. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 When Paul put his CT (I think he said it stands for Childs Toy) CHILDS TOY???? . That's not what you said when flying her. Everyone knows CT stands for COSMIC TRAVELLER. See you there Mike. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 child's toy? i thought it meant Cute toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks for setting the record straight Ultralights. I was so embarrassed when I re-read my post and realised I had omitted the apostrophe. Child's Toy is indeed what I meant. I thought if I ignored the error it would go away and nobody would notice, while editing the post would only draw attention. You live and learn. Again - thanks. PS - Paul, I'm sure that's what you said. "Cosmic Traveller" I would have remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelorus32 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 child's toy? i thought it meant Cute toy? I think we need a comment from Ian here, I'm sure he'll have a view. And Slarti you should be ashamed of yourself for forgetting the apostrophe! How can you expect to fly cross country if you can't remember your apostrophes?:;)3: See all you villains at Natfly Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
