Possible YSSY Spotting Weekend 2012???

[Brenden S]

Nigel, a little hard to organise something via the Perth Office. However all I am trying to think about is doing something a little different. Shame we can't use a small section of the radar field.

[Nigel C]

Of course you can organise it! Just need to make a few phone calls or send a few emails!

As for the radar field, again, make some enquiries. Have a chat to the property section of SACL and find out if it's possible. There may be conditions imposed on it's use, or they may refer you to someone who can help, but the worst anyone can say is no, and you won't know if you don't ask!


Any spotting weekend that is organised can't just be a one man organising commitee (just ask Kurt). It will take a team effort, and if those with the ideas can be the ones who make the arrangements, then bit by bit it will come together. There are enough people here who have a friend of a friend of a friend that can possibly make it happen.

PM sent Nigel.

Very true in what you have said.

I can only strongly second this. I have helped Amsy in the past and it has been a massive job to co-ordinate all the necessary parts of the weekend. If we're going to have another weekend I think we will need to share to duties around a little more so that we don't have Amsy doing the bulk of the work. That way everyone can enjoy the social and geeking atmosphere of the weekend and no one person is tied down running the weekend.

I'm happy to help as I have done before, but it will be so much better if we have a group or committee of organisers.

Guys,

Firstly, I love the spotting you lads put together and appreciate the effort everyone does to get it to the state thats its get to.

If we could just make it a gathering maybe it would make it easy:

Friday night - Drinks at Av8 Bar
Saturday - Spotting - Mound by morning, Beach by Afternoon
Saturday night - Dinner at Rowers, followed by drinks at Av8
Sunday - Spotting by Mound, Beach by Afternoon, allow people to depart..

As simple as that would be unreal!

Cheers
Beau

Mid May will coincide with the Sydney Aviation Model Show 2012...

Do QF still run tours of the Jetbase? Just for something extra.

[Brenden S]

No, and no more tours of the airport. However a private tour can be arranged for a decent dent in your wallet.
