Warbirds Over Bairnsdale

November 4 and 5 for 2023, long weekend for Melbourne Cup on 7th. weather not the best, rather windy, some showers on Saturday.

Wind was pretty much due East, so straight down the runway all weekend.

 Twenty nine pilots registered, a great turnout.

Pictures and stuff, in no particular order, (too hard) even a few short videos thanks to Rob B and his DJI drone.

 

 

2 out of 3 aint bad, Ian R landing his Tucano on 2 wheels.

A great weekend, many thanks to all the team for getting the field in such fabulous condition and everyone who helped in the kitchen creating excellent food.

Cheers Geoff. 😎

Warbirds coming

Cheers Geoff. 😎

November already

 First, Wednesday:

Driving into the field today I looked at the Winjeel on the pole and thought that the prop is spinning so fast it's invisible, amazing!

Later, this is what I saw.......

Okay, the prop is back on, hopefully it will rotate in the wind visibly now.

Landmark

 Wednesday 27th saw many hands making light work of erecting a new landmark and possible tourist attraction at the field.

 

Thanks to Brian for creating a great model and to Rob K for the pics.

Cheers Geoff. 😎
