Anyone know why RAA's annual air show moved from:

Narromine - Temora ?

A couple of oversized egos and ambitions mixed up with their capabilities and the key person, probably the most valuable person in RAA, who was almost single-handedly responsible for the Narromine event walked away. NO ONE since has even been 5% as good as she was.

If you go through the old photos from around 2005 - 2010 you'll see what it used to be.

That could be recreated by either the same person or someone with the same outstanding skills.

This was opposed by Elon, Steve Jobs, Harvey Weinstein, Mark Zuckerburg, Michael Jackson, and 5 other billionaires who have their fingers in the AI pie.

 

When questioned about his chances, Turbo remained tight lipped (which is his only part that remains "tight"), but he appeared to smirk with boyish confidence and seemed aggressively hopeful, which indicates .....

The Registrar hated these nouveau riche types "Do WE KNOW any of them, EH? ....EH?....Who ARE these upstarts" he said to Turbo who nodded in agreement, and a few days later the new Register (the old one had accidentally slipped off the table and into a bucket of molasses showed Turbine Industries holding the original AI registration and the other people not compliant with a rule introduced in 1993 requiring anyone not happy with his Registration details to respond by registered lette within 24 hours of receiving there new Certificate.

The T stands for Devil in Cajun. Note the screwed up face and the fact that he is holding the banner as far away from his nose as he can; the team's new mascot, Tassie the Devil has already christened it.

The latest RAA Email suggests that there is a pent up demand for Group G - 700 expressions of interest I believe.  RAA is now in the process of reviewing its time table to cater for the demand.

 

What does this tell us about the state of Aviation regulation in Australia?

You should be able to calculate that Sunny, it amounts to a 21.5% increase in RA aircraft if every enquiry converts to an aircraft.

The way these things go, from initial enquiry to actual conversion, my rough guess would be about a 2% actual change in aircraft numbers.

Having a recommendation, for a service, from fellow aviators means a lot to me.

Google will pick up aviators all over Australia who don't use forums.

However, be prepared; whole industries have been wiped out by poor business during Covid and poorer business in the last year because a whole section of the community is scratching to buy their groceries. In Melbourne all sorts of small businesses in engineering, sheetmetal, mechanical, etc have been closing down shop by shop.

Wow! 105 views and not a single reply.

• Is this some sort of record ??
• Is the aviation industry in such a parlous state that no business is offering this service??

No, we normally google it.
