Hire and Fly Port Edward

Postby mcfly » Thu Nov 13, 2008 8:57 pm

Does anybody know of any hire and fly in Port Edward area as I will be there in December for two weeks and I do not want to tow my trike.

Hi Vernon

Gee! just as I was getting excited about going down to the coast. It's not possible to tow my trike as I am towing my caravan and it's only me and wifey going.
Thanks for the gesture of rigging my aerie.

We have been to Port Edward(leisure bay) many times in the past and I have always wanted to experience the flying conditions there. Maybe one day I'll take the plunge and tow my aerie specially for the flying(without the van)

hi mcfly, i've been going to leisure bat since i was a small baby, we have a holiday home there - needles to say, i've always wanted to fly there and last december i took my trike down - IT WAS AWSOME! wx wasnt perfect but the flying very good! Vernon, I have not made up my mind wether i'll be coming down or not but will speak to you beforehand. Andre asked me to come down as well.

I'm sitting here in Leisure Bay looking at the weather,knowing that no flying will be done today. I'm damn sure that I heard a microlight on our arrival yesterday as the weather was excellent.

Will be contacting Vernon soon to see if I can bum a ride(if they're able,wx permitting) and of course to meet the local guys and share in their world.
Is'nt holiday just fab! Two glorious weeks of chilling.

To all Microlighters and their families. I wish you all a wonderful,peacefull and joyous CHRISTMAS (-) AND a Wonderful NEW YEAR. (^^)
