I would love to come but can't.

Went to the ADL one and had a great time.

Enjoy yourselves!!!

I thought going to Canberra for a day trip but its an expensive $400 day trip including flights and taxi fares. I would get another 2,000 Qantas miles and 20 Status Credits for my trouble. :-|

So anyone else interested in meeting on Sunday?

Will send out PMs tomorrow and we can decide where to meet.

 

[Bundy Bear]

My PM inbox is full so you will need another forum for PMs. :-|

I haven't booked anything saving my money for a Status Run in the US, but could be convinced if it was really that good. :-|

Can't swear or do so loud enough to express my disappointment that a) we don't have anything like this on my side of Australia, and b) I'm so busy that I can't book a last minute flight for this and just go.

Have a good time whoever is going.

thewinchester,

You could go to the Red Bull Air Race instead :!:

I have been to some great open days and airshows at RAAF Pearce.

Don't get me wrong, Red Bull and Pearce are great fun - however I'm a nut for looking under the hood of places you don't normally get to go (airports, factories, et al).

Well am now home after a great day. I got there early and was the first person to visit the Constellation aircraft. PeteJ and Skoogle met up with me during the morning and I showed them the new luggage tag.

I did a bus tour of the tarmac and later on the joy flight. In between we had a refreshing drink (diet coke for me) in the Qantas business lounge and exchanged tales of travel. Great to meet two more AFFers.

It was a good day and I will post some photos in the near future.
