My usual opening time 8.00 - 8.30 am will continue.
See you all there

I plan to beat you there, just so I can get my spot lol.
I don't plan being there long unfortunately.
It wouldn't kill me to miss flying for one day, but then again, why risk it.

The weather is looking good for the Australia Day weekend. And a reminder that on Sunday the Committee is putting on a BBQ for Pilots and their families.

See you all Sunday.

With Sunday predicted to be a hot day the BBQ will be a brunch event so those Pilots who are at the field early to avoid the heat will be able to get breakfast. All going well food will be served from 9am.

Special thanks to our chef Craig for getting extra early and manning the BBQ.

See you at McCoy.

The field will be open early for some mowing duties. Flying should be able to commence 8.30 - 9.00 dependant of what can be achieved from an earlier mowing start.

My A380 training is well and truly over..successfully I might add!! The problem now is, my trips away are anything up to 10days at a time...mostly over weekends Frown I guess I'll see you guys when I see you. Hopefully in the next 3 weeks or so I might get a weekend at home. Have fun.

Will be good to see you again BB, is a shame you can't get to the field more often to fly. I guess you will have to settle for flying slightly bigger birds.
PS. congrats on getting your new wings.

We had a few sprinkles of rain this morning which momentarily dampened the field but not our spirits. As for tomorrow, no rain or cloud or wind forecast but 34 deg temp, so bring plenty of fluids to keep hydrated & perhaps shade. I intend opening about 8.00ish as normal. See you there.

Just had a look at the field and it has been freshly mowed but a bit restricted at the recently filled area opposite the pilot box. Otherwise the strip is firm to fly on This is despite nearly 30mm rain in my rain gauge 2.5kn SE of the field. We are having a bushcare day starting about 8.00am for a few hours and please be aware that whist we have volunteers scrambling through the reeds, there is no flying. The showers forecast for tomorrow are not expected until afternoon, so should be a good day.

Few sprinkles of rain this arvo but shouldn't affect flying tomorrow. If more rain tonight, I will inspect the field early in the morning. Otherwise I will open at 8.00 ish again.

I am at the field and no evidence of substantial rain overnight. Strip is firm for flying. Skies looking ominous for more rain. Your own call for flying. I will open 8ish but no guarantee for how long I will stay. Nothing on rain radar.

Forecast for tomorrow not looking too good, a high (80%) chance of 10-15mm rain/showers. I am a bit reluctant to commit to opening tomorrow & will leave it until the morning to decide. Watch this space in the morning

I think that's a bit unfair of you Wayne. I expect you to open at 8 and sit in gumboots and under an umbrella waiting for everyone to turn up. Biggrin

Rain radar not looking too bad at this stage & minimal rain overnight. Will head to the field for a setup 8.00 - 8.30. See you there

Left the field about 12ish today & field filling with water. Is raining now & likely to make the field unflyable tomorrow. I am golfing tomorrow so will rely on somebody else to post on opening if game.
