Either will work. At 12 - 3 timeslot, we will be shooting into the sun from the flightline, on the other day I might go and sit on the other side of the road and shoot back towards the hills, that way sun will not be a problem. The globemaster is a huge plane, it used to come to Woomera a few times per year - it is an absolute monster.

I might be able to make it, I have to decide between shooting the Kuitpo forest rally (tarmac stages) or the airshow.
Why are there always multiple things on the same weekend 
Count me in. It's been a while since our last meet...

Iv'e bought mine Deb T
you lucky bastard ~ my brother inlaw works at the base and sent me this email, i believe the $25 is on top of the entrance fee, i dont know if its a good possie or not but he said he would get me tickets if i wanted some ? cheers rob Special AIR Show Offer Tenix, Lockheed-Martin and L3 have generously offered sponsorship for some aspects of the Edinburgh Air Show. This has allowed us to provide a large marquee with all the trimmings of a Corporate facility. The marquee will known as 'The Flight Deck" and will be positioned next to the VIP marquee either on the hardstand at the western end of the engine run-up area or on the grass alongside. The Air Show caterer has offered a buffet meal in this facility for $25 per head; there are no concessions. The menu is below. The caterer is Encore which is based at AAMI Stadium. Their product is good. Wine and beer will be available with the meal on a pay-as-you-go basis. 130 places are on offer each day to anyone interested in purchasing a meal in this Corporate marquee. This would be your place for the day to come and go as you please. Tables will be in various sizes. The limit will be four tickets per individual in the first instance. The offer is open primarily to adults but children over 10 will be accepted. As the offer is expected to be popular, we will accept the first 130 requests received.
robw25 - the Mini Meet is on Sunday 28th October, 2007.
fozzie....... you had better take a wide angle, as planes are bigger than Lions

Oh, be like that then. Are you too good for the rest of us!
I haven't got tickets, I believe you can get them at the gate. Is that right? Daniel Nikon D4, D2Xs, D70, Nikkors and Sigmas lenses from 10 to 400mm

Daniel - according to the website, the options are:
You can buy tickets from Ticketek or at the gate. I am purchasing mine and 'BBJ' from an Ticketek agent near work, sometime this week . Saves the hassle on the day. If you are interested drop me a PM and fix me up on the day. website

I will have to get my tickets @ the gate
Ticketek does'nt post them out , its pick up @ the venue or @ their office So i will wait in line with everyone else lol warren aka aussichef Nikon D50/D80 Nikon,MB-D80 70-200 2.8 VR,Sigma 18-50 2.8, Kenko 1.4x TC, 2 kit lenses ,Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB-600 Tamron 90mm 2.8 Canon 500D closeup lens

Sun is Shinning here in Port Vincent @ the moment after a night of rain ( which we need ) so hopefully it will stay rain free just for today warren aka aussichef Nikon D50/D80 Nikon,MB-D80 70-200 2.8 VR,Sigma 18-50 2.8, Kenko 1.4x TC, 2 kit lenses ,Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB-600 Tamron 90mm 2.8 Canon 500D closeup lens
Saturday was fairly unpleasant weather wise.
Overcast and light winds early on then mid afternoon.. just when all the fun stuff was due to come on up came gale force winds and wicked sandstorms. A few spots of rain to boot.. very nasty conditions. Forecast is for strong winds today also
I went Saturday, I am too cheap to pay, so I parked on Angle Vale Road and took some photos. I found it a little slow - in that there was quite a few breaks between things happening. Well that is what I felt.
