Day Fly-in on our farm

Postby Trikenut » Thu Aug 07, 2008 1:56 pm

Hi All,
I am thinking of doing a one day fly-in to our farm near worcester.
We have a few good landing spots.
How do I go about arranging this and is anyone interested?
Only problem is you need to be able to takeoff/land in about 120m.

Thanks

I think the pilots would be interested, 120m possible but very short, what possible hazards are on the ends of the landing spots, ie on finals and after takeoff in each direction.

The best is to give us the GPS coordinates. One of us can come and have a look, either flying or driving and work out if it will be safe

The place i am thinking of is a long strech of gravel road. There are some power lines about 70m away but otherwise clear!
Then we can have tractors bring everyone to the main area for a braai etc.
I'll have to chat to a few people and see whether it is possible...
