Sadly no I've forgotten

I hope to have something going up here next year. I want to run an intro event here later this year probably November sometime, as the interest is starting to grow. Has there been any talk of a comp in Rocky yet?

Might have to be another in QLD next year, Dalby will be my new home base.

Be able to get down and have a fly with Troy and Luke, not to far to Mick and Richo either.

That's good to hear cookie. From what I've been told the dalby field is pretty good. Need some more Imac flyers to move to the far north to help kick start the interest in Imac up here. All going well I hope to get a comp happening in Townsville next year.

I never knew Rod was going to the filton flight school.

If only all theory of flight instructors were female and looked like that.

Welcome to sunny QLD.
Yes, they have an excellent field at Dalby. No IMAC flyers from what I know of but you wont be too far from the comps - Coolum, Toowoomba, Tin Can Bay, Hervey Bay - all within 3 to 5 hours.
Will catch up with you when you get settled (Dalby is my old stomping ground).

cheers
