    A shot of the central display area taken from a Bell47. There was reportedly 600,000 visitors over the week and over 10,000 visiting aircraft. As mentioned above, no wire or barriers but polite requests. Maybe the crowd is more polite and well behaved than Australian crowds. A great time again.

    Jab7252, your idea is good to see. When you are bored after achieving the result you wanted you might consider a facility to input alternates along the path. Good luck.

    I would think the strip is a must in the case of an emergency air response.

    Bought mine from the eaa as a member. I think you may be able to search airventure 2018 and get through. Good luck

    Great flying, no sexism allowed.

    A member can now purchase more than one additional ticket/s We are staying north of Milwaukee this trip and driving straight up the highway. Easy as.

    It is a bit of a tour to get to the field where the B17 operated from when I flew in it a couple of years ago. That being said, it was well managed and a comfortable shuttle included in the price. A great experience being in the lovely old ship. I will be returning this year. Fon Du Lac is an easy drive.

    And the French sell their nuclear generated power to the adjacent countries who will not build them. Hypocritical to the extreme. Only politicians could be happy with that.

    I have just finished driving through Nederlands, Belgium, France and Germany witnessing many hundreds of wind turbines, There were thousands of live flying birds but no mounds of dead ones beneath the fans. Further, it appears that Europeans are able to reside within a couple of hundred meters of the wind turbines without suffering mysterious ailments. Maybe our birds deserve to follow natural selection and fly into the blades.

    How about the thousands of volunteers

    I prefer to think that a crosswind gust got under the wing and lifted the aircraft.

    Chute is short for Para chute. It is common for Australians to shorten words. Safe flying.

    I fly the Kitfox from closer to Melbourne but still like the lack of traffic at Jim’s. Safe skies eh.

    I have flown from North of Benalla for 15 years and learned that what is at ground level can be +90 degrees different by only +300 ft elevation. This is especially true when cold easterlies come off the alps. A fleeting glimpse of the sock is important. Drift on different approach legs should give a bit of an idea but it is not a certainty.

    I spent 15 years in road accident rescue and continued to be amazed/ashamed that bystanders could drink booze, smoke beside leaking fuel and then make unwitty comments on the rescue process.

    I have looked at the local distributor site but no mention of V16

    Early ABC tv news announced it as a glider. Accurate in one sense.

    The U S military aircraft were fitted with US manufactured engines and ancillaries. The norm for US contracts. Only a bit Pommie. Great a/c nonetheless.

    I renewed my subs cca1700 today and appears ok at 1930. Using a Macquarie bank based card

    Try Jim Cuthill at Devenish (North of Benalla) Falconhawke is the school. Small concern but excellent.

    Where is Camit when you need it. Could have survived except for ill feeling from a known person.

    I will split you the difference, 38 miles by Ozrunways on WAC. I drove pass Wang today and great conditions. One a/c doing circuits. Happy flying
