What airport are you leaving from Joe6pack?
msadventure2
Sydney
Driving down?
I have flown from Maroochy Airport, loved flying over Bribie Island and North Brisbane.

Its a yearly thing In I do.
Fly from MCY to SYD and book into the Stamford and watch planes .
Get in sat watch planes. Sunday Canberra and back, Monday checking out the rydges international for views and fly back to MCY on Tues
Sounds like a great schedule. Last time I went to Canberra e left from Brisbane stayed had a week there.
Did the Cbr Syd return leg on QANTASlink as our plane was cancelled, we only just caught our connecting flight but our luggage didn’t. My bag was delivered here to me and the other bag was couriered up the highway to Coolum. The adventures of travel!

The only luggage on this flight will be getting BB up to speed
I can just imagine his wings pumping, trying to catch the plane with the Boss watching on.
Can’t make Canberra but would love to catch up in Sydney!!!!
We could always make it a Sydney-Canberra, or Canberra-Sydney event – but believe you me, I won’t be winging it in either direction!
6 Months?
I can do Tokyo, Helsinki. London meanwhile and still do over the local bottle shop.
Remind me later.
Weekend before Canberra Show, possible.
Are you going to jog there Fiona?
Joe6pack,
In these shoes???
(This is one of the pair …)
Were you a Boy Scout? Isn’t that “Thinking Day” the birthday of Lord Baden Powell and also his wife?

I was a boy scout for a few years. Even became a patrol leader, but have no idea about “Thinking Day”.
Read all about it . . .

You could come to my place, lie down in my back yard and read the numbers of the planes as they go over. 2km from the eastern end of the EW runway. In very strong westerlies we occasionally get A380s going over. Awesome. But for noise, nothing beats the old DC10s
Looks like I will be there to join you.
Joe6pack,
I’m not altogether sure I like being described as a BIG BONUS.
Must be time for an update.
If the blow-in is 1 to 5 then there will be at least 20 minutes after and 30 minutes before.
The celebrities will then me here for three hours max.
No time to go socially.
I don’t do really rush stuff so Pub Airport seems the only option.
See you in Canberra! Flying in on Saturday and out on Monday morning, staying in the youth hostile
Looking forward to meeting you all.
