How much are the collector's editions? I could swap you a signed hard-cover Hornet book if you like? Cheers

I'll be in Newcastle both tomorrow & Sun, does anyone know if there will be some action over the weekend? If I had to pick a rough time when would be the best bet to catch some action? Lastly where is the spot to grab a looksee? I was just looking at Google maps and Medowie Rd there looks ok?

Sorry though Matt. I'm afraid our country is undefended on weekends. There won't be any military flying at Willietown over the weekend. Cheers, Motty. |

As much as I'd like one of your Hornet books, and I appreciate the offer, I need to actually sell these books as half the money still goes to Paul's wife and family. The books are $250. They have the signatures of the 7 RAAF pilots who accumulated over 3000 hrs, Serge Dassault (son of Marcel), Juanita Franzi (the book's artist) Faye Mason (on behalf of Paul) and myself. There were originally only 20 numbered copies made available for sale and quite a few of those have already gone. Cheers, Motty. Last edited by Darren Mottram; 29th August 2008 at 09:48 PM.

Here's what some of it looked like up here.
After watching them go crazy all week, they behaved themselves today. This was the only one that got a little boisterous. This one seems to have some new nose art commemorating the trip. It says something about Downunder and I can make out a cartoon Kangaroo and an Eagle but I just can't quite make out the details. The Sydney formation made a pass over the base on their way back. On the pitch. And another. Hope you like 'em. Cheers, Motty. Last edited by Darren Mottram; 29th August 2008 at 10:05 PM. Reason: Sorry, replied to wrong post. |

Busy Morning
It was a little busy this morning at Williamtown,
Using 30 in great light, We saw 20 Hornets, 4 Eagles, KC135, VBI, VUM, OTD, OTE, TAH, TLH, OZD. OZD - Ozjet actually hit a plover on rotation and had to return to check for possible damage - to the plane! Also the previously mentioned crew change happened on Saturday with another KC135 passing through Williamtown (@ 4.15pm) ChrisP Last edited by Chris Primmer; 1st September 2008 at 04:08 PM.
