[19th & 20th May] EOI: RAAF Airshow Charter Flight.

[Buckets]

Shouldnt be a prob, can get a 6 seat B58 also. I'll talk to my boss and let you know. Maybe get enough numbers for 2 planes haha. Ballers.

If someone wants to start a thread or a list of people keen to fly on the 18th OR the 19th feel free, we could probably take 15 people all up including myself and another pilot. If not, anyone keen to fly in shoot me a pm and I'll try to organise something.. (a new thread would be better). The aircraft are located at Perth Airport and free parking in our secured carpark.

As per the RAAF Airshow thread I though I'd open this up to gauge interest in getting someone to fly a group of us up to Pearce and back rather than get stuck in traffic for hours like last time.

There's a poll for each day (Sat/Sun) and please only vote if you are genuinely interested as there's no point booking a 10 seater if only 4 of 5 people are going to be on board.

Cheers

How much would something like this be likely to cost?

[Buckets]

How much would something like this be likely to cost?

ED40 was suggesting somewhere in the order of $100 bucks. FWIW I couldn't fly my own 172 up there for that !

[ED40]

yeah ill get definite prices next week and more details and let you all know. Id say $100 ea.

[3sgte]

thats hella cheap

[Jizz-Lebrity]

You know I'm in.

Just need to make sure we do weight and balance before the day. You, me, and Yakky Bear is probably half the MTOW right there :)

[Phasor]

Sounds like a good idea will have to check with the missus as we're heading to Bali on the Sunday morning

[Rich]

Theres no poll option for 'stuck at work all weekend so that you guys can fly in'.

Tempted to fly up. I would have to be there before all of the other aircraft turned up so I would have to get permission to come in CTAF. That would mean you would beat the traffic in the air too ;)

[newbie101]

In for 2 seats on sunday. Gonna take the opportunity to get my youngest into a plane for the first time in her life.

[adzmerc]

I'm also keen 2 seats either days preferably Sunday

[mr_rotary]

Put me down (1 seat) for either Saturday or Sunday.
Can pay either deposit or full immediately.

[ED40]

$100 per head for a seat on one of the aircraft.

Departing Perth Domestic Airport from the Perth Flight Centre (Fauntleroy ave)at roughly 8am and departing Pearce Airforce Base at 430pm (times to be finalised).

This does not include entry ticket. The fly-in aircraft may have a waived entry free for specators? I'm not sure yet, waiting to hear back from Fetish.
There is another company selling tickets for $170 including entry fee but they are selling out quick and it's a bigger aeroplane with ALOT smaller windows.

Numbers to be finalised by the 30th April. We need to organise which day we going aswell, so please indicate via the poll and a reply in this thread. If you are flexible both days then please say so as majority will decide which day we go.

Payment cut off date roughly 2 weeks prior to the show.

If we can't fill up all the seats on the aircraft (14 if we take 2 aircraft or 5 or 9 if we take one aircraft-either the B58 or Pa31(which is bigger)) we may have to increase the price of the ticket to offset the cost.

Great rare opportunity guys so jump on board!

[ED40]

THE LIST; FINAL NUMBERS FOR SUNDAY

Buckets
Romeo
Newbie101 +1
Adzdriftin +1 - PAID
Mr Rotary
Attnseekr - PAID
hionpsi +1 - PAID
POH73 +1 - PAID
Joshg123

13 people.

[ED40]

Also guys PLEASE don't put your name down if you aren't 100% commited.. It costs alot of time and money to organise this and a last minute pull out for no good reason could piss alot of people off. :)

[DT95WA]

either day is good for me

[Rich]

pretty sure 'fly ins' still have to purchase tickets to the show

[Phasor]

I'll be in for 2 people but saturday only

[Buckets]

Looks like this is on with a few more number might even get flights on both days.

[POH73]

If suitable for newbies would like 2 spots for Sunday 20th for Me + father

ps, I presume a it's a family friendly crew Lol

[Buckets]

Absolutely family friendly. Degeneracy free zone :p

[POH73]

Hahaha awesome, in like Flynn! I had visions of a Vegas style day out such is the banter on here sometimes :D
If we're looking for numbers at a later stage I may be able to get another 2-3 on board - They overseas and uncontactable at the moment so would need another 7-10 days at least. Looking forward to doing it in style though!!!!

[ED40]

List has been updated.
2 seats left unless phasor or newbie101 can change days to suit.

[joshg123]

Im in if there is room, flexible on day

[POH73]

rojer rojer, can confirm that newbie101 is fine to change days :)

[Buckets]

Sorry for neglecting this over the last few days. But it looks like we have enough for a flight on Sunday ! Those listed in the OP will be receiving PM's shortly. We can still fit 3 more in on Sunday if we take both planes. At the moment it doesn't look like we have the numbers for flights on both days.

[ED40]

Ok I'll send out PM's tomorrow.

PHASOR, we have room if you want to still come on Sunday.. please let me know asap, however I am assuming you are not coming due to leaving for Bali that day.

[Phasor]

Yeah Sunday is not possible at all let me know if a Saturday flight come up.

[Fukushima]

I'll come

[POH73]

PM replied and payment made.
Thanks again for arranging!!

[ED40]

No probs.
Mullman once everyone has got their weights back to me there might be room for you too..
Whats your weight?

[Fukushima]

100kg :P

[mr_rotary]

PM replied and payment made.
Also thanks for arranging!!

[ED40]

Have updated post #13 with payments I have received.

[joshg123]

Sorry just came across PM, have put the money through!

[POH73]

Was just about to pull the trigger to purchase a couple of tickets and then read that there may be a possibility that fly-in passengers may not need General Admission tickets? If there's any further news on this it would be much appreciated.

Paul

[mr_rotary]

Hope not. I've already paid for my general admission!

[ED40]

I'm pretty sure you need to buy your ticket seperate.

[POH73]

No worries at all, just checking in case someone knew something that I didn't. Purchasing now.

[ED40]

OK
NEWBIE101 hasn't replied or sent money through.. If anyone knows him can you please remind him for me, thanks.

[ED40]

Guys remember this is happening this Sunday. We have arrival times at Pearce for 8am in the morning unfortunately they wont let us in any later, so please be at the Perth Flight Centre as per the pm's at 7:15 AM If you aren't checked in by 7:30 AM I will not be able to take you and your money will not be returned. So please please please don't be late! If you think you are running late on the morning please ring the office on 94774402.

Cyaz then!

[POH73]

Gotcha!

Anyone going to coffee on Saturday to put names to faces beforehand?

[Buckets]

Anyone know where I can hire / borrow a decent DSLR. I think my Sony HDR-FX1000 is going to be a bit big to lump around all day and I want to get a bit of video / photos with better quality than the phone can produce ?

[DT95WA]

[31-EVO]

biggest shit fuck pingpingpingping dick lips of an event I've ever attended. 1.5 hours to travel 10km, then when we left we could only turn left onto Great northen HWY instead of turning right and heading back to Perth.
Not only that, at 2:45 the ticket place shut up shop and people were getting in for free just after I forked out $50, shit was a fucken joke. Stupid fucking red bull music van playing fucked up garden music or what ever the fuck the pill popping generation calls it. Couldn't hear shit over the PA system about the B52 at the time it passed, bailed early to try beat the traffic, didn't go to plan. Shit was fucked, never been so angry with the lack of intelligent drivers let alone nice ones letting people in, I will never go to another Perth air show again, they can shove the idea right up thier arses. pingpingpingpingS
But i did get to see the B-52 and a Super Hornett up close, so not all was lost.

We were saying we should have got these made up and stuck to the underside of the planes just to make the day a little better for people like you.

Haha the more fucked thing was, we had the option of possibly flying up from Bunbury, but noooo I decided to be nice and drive up instead. Rookie mistake, spent more time driving Saturday than I did at the show.

[joshg123]

Muchos appreciatos Karl, thankyou for organising this!
