Andrew, due to issues with delivery the only things listed that were not on display were the model airports.
Everything else was there.

Thanks for all that attended the show today, we are expecting an even bigger crowd tomorrow!
Tomorrow will see the cessna dragonfly take off at 11am for an adventure flight!

Enjoyed the scenic flight immensely Danny. My son son had a great time on his first ever flight! Thanks to Aeropelican and to yourself, a great show and well done again.

I only went to see the model airport.
The lack of eftpos/atm facilities was a disappointment also. I had $1500 on my card and no way to spend it.
The PBY/Catalina was impressive tho... i didnt think they were that big.

Was the Fire Brigade there today? I must have missed it.

If you walked in through the gate then you walked straight past it!

Hi all

I assume it'll be morning by the time you all read this!

I was there this morning, and had to leave at 1230 to go to work, and I'll have to do the same later today (Now that it's Sunday). I showed up with no expectations or demands, and hence, had a great day, and was pleased to see a few aircraft present, particularly HARS' Catalina. Definitely the highlights:

*Walking through the Catalina, unlike in Canberra or Albion Park, myself and fellow board member Jaryd, sat in the Catalina for over half an hour chatting with the friendly volunteer, who's probably convinced us to join up and give them a hand
*Discounted Just Planes DVDs ($30 each!), including the two Australian titles with Regional Express and Virgin Blue
*Plenty of diecast models and plastic ones for sale
*All exhibitors are very friendly to have a chat to.
*Careflight have these great polo shirts and jumpers on sale for $20 each, what a bargain, and it all goes to Careflight!


For those coming today, please note, there is no ATM there, being an aircraft hangar! So prior to me showing up today, I ducked by the local Post Office in Georges Hall and made a reasonable cashout withdrawal (Having spent bugger all of it today!).

I'll be back later today, bought a 2 day pass to make the most of the 4 or so hours I have avaliable this weekend to come to this.

Just saw the photos posted by Grahame, and he's managed to snap me in the shot standing at the Careflight stand behind the Jetcar, with my CSU TV jumper on.

Just saw the Dragonfly over St Mary's, nice and low and LOUD!!!

[Grahame Hutchison]

Just saw what looked like the Aeropelican BAe 3201 flying due south quite low over Mona Vale. Maybe flying into Bankstown, or on the scenic flight from Bankstown.

Graeme,
Most likely heading back to Bankstown on the joy flight. It was-OTP.
