The Decision
Local Jet Meetings are great fun to attend, and being based in East Gippsland we
(the Sale Mafia) do our best to attend as
many of these meetings as we possibly can
in order to support the various clubs that run
these events, such as the Victorian Jet
Aerosport Association (VJAA) with Wangaratta Jets, the Jet Flyers Association of
New South Wales (JFA) with Jets over
Temora and the Adelaide Model Aerosport
club (AMA) with Jet Action. Some of us are
yet to make it to Western Australia or into
Queensland but we are working on that.
However, being based in East Gippsland,
all of our travels take us towards the setting
sun, that was until recently when at the
Temora jet meeting we were treated to a rundown of the upcoming ANZAC Jet event
being hosted by the New Zealand Jet Modeller’s Association (NZJMA) to be held 15th
to the 17th of February 2013.
Roger Perrett (expat kiwi) and Peter Brown
who had come over from NZ for the Temora
meeting explained to those of us who had not
been before, just what the ANZAC event is all
about and just how we could get our planes
safely over there and back again. Straight
away my great friend Rob Epplestun and I
made the decision to set the wheels into motion and work towards getting to this meeting.
