As first time exhibitor and attendee of EAA in July, I have to admit to being a bit overwhelmed at the volume of people wandering through the place. The Aussie expression “mixed bag” kept coming to mind as Mick and I looked around everyday.  Thank you to everyone who came by just to say “G’day.”  It was great putting faces and names together. 

We were also amazed at the number of people who commented, “I didn’t think we were allowed to fly in Australia anymore.”  Luckily, for us and you, the rules have “relaxed’ a little since the initial government reaction to September 11, which caused a year back log for licenses issued in Australia.  Thankfully, all paperwork can be submitted from overseas now and the forms are on our website. 

The following photo was taken by Mark and Yvonne Sanderson as they were leaving Oshkosh.  The Sandersons, along with their “mates” the Remleys, will be flying Australia in November on their own customized tour.
