19 May MEL Museum/JB747 Lunch/ airport tour/ DC3 flight

[penegal]

As per the earlier posts, anyone who wants a refund who cannot make the July event please PM me your details, and I will deposit the money into a bank account. I will be doing them tonight. Those that move the payment to the July event will have priority access to the bus tour and be in the running for the full motion flight sim prize.

As mentioned in the other thread, you can hold my payment and I will take one of those priority places for the rescheduled event.

Thanks for all your work in the background

No problems, I needed the stress to make me appreciate my day job!

Anyone else need a lift, I have finally confirmed a Tarago/Carnival and have 2 seats spare! Leaving HI at 9, Hilton on the Park at 9.30 approx.
Ex Point Cook I will have an extra seat.

Just confirming the plan:

Meet at Point Cook at 10AM (need photo ID to get into the RAAF base), it will be a good opportunity to get close to some interesting aircraft including a F111G as well as aircraft/aerodrome equipment including a trident ARFF vehicle etc.
Plan is to move to Moorabbin if everyone agrees (some so so reports posted here that may make the trip not worth it)
Then back to the airport for lunch at the HI, and the lounge time.

Not to mention that Point Cook and Moorabbin are about 50 Km apart by road!

I may make the journey out to the airport to join in the lunch/lounge time.

Yes, I suspect a vote on the day will be the go! And anyone wishing to join us for lunch/lounge (50% off the food price at the Holiday Inn) please let me know, all are welcome

I will be joining you for the museum(s) and lunch afterwards

Oh, WOW, markis10's shuttle service is awesome! Thank you so much.
And here I was thinking we'd commence our day on public transport! What a welcome surprise.

See you at the HOTP at 0930 on Saturday and we'll see everyone else at Point Cook or the HI.

Looking good Markis, Looking Good!!

I could be interested in a lift at 9;30am from HOTP, maybe you already filled the bus, I was speaking to someone today who suggest Point Cook is worth a look.

If we got enough WPs flying in we can go into the business lounge? Or else DJ lounge sounds good. Only 2 more sleeps to go

Only one more sleep to go...
I've just received the reminder email from QF reminding me I'm flying tomorrow... Time to do OLCI...

and I've now nabbed exit row seats both ways... I did pass up 4D, as much as I like row 4, I so much prefer a window seat (which is what I've got).

 

[vitagen]

I scored row 23 on a330 and 767

I've realised it's a tad difficult to get to the other side of the bay in time for me to do this, so I'll be a scratching for the day.

I thought I had a lift there, but that has fallen over. Will try to get up to the airport for lunch at the Holiday Inn though. Any estimate on time for that?
