NRL Grand Final...
 

Hi all,

Anybody know if the Army or Navy are flying the trophy in to the NRL Grand Final this year like they have done the last couple of years?

The reason I ask is, if it's a Blackhawk, they fly right over my house on the way there and back and I always try to get a photo of it, but if its Navy, I'm out of luck.

Although, it doesn't look as though it will be good weather for a photo anyway.


Cheer's,

Jeff,
An article on the back page of the Daily Telegraph stated that an Army Blackhawk will fly in & land in the stadium as part of a tribute to the soldiers that have been killed or been injured in the war.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for that Jayden!...much appreciated.

Its now been changed so that Telstra ChildFlight will arrive with the trophy at 4:45pm & the Blackhawk will arrive at 6:05pm for the tribute to the soldiers.

I managed to see the practice run on thursday.I saw the blackhawk complete two landings and was waiting around for the Child Flight but I had to leave.

Thanks guy's,

....not looking like good weather for a shot of it though.

Does anyone know the rego of the childflight 412 that flew in with the trophy?

The CASA Aircraft Register has it as VH-CFE & Telstra ChildFlight took over the Registered Operator position on the 26th August 2010
