\"AAAA<\/a>If you’re an old aeroplane enthusiast, here’s your once-a-year chance to see dozens of them all in one place – Echuca\u00a0Airport<\/a>, on the Murray River, north Victoria, on Saturday 28 March.<\/p>\n

The Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia<\/a> – AAAA – is holding their 39th National Fly-in over 27-29 March 2015. \u00a0Aircraft will start arriving on Friday 27th and departing on Sunday morning, 29th. In between, Saturday should see a wonderful array of old flying beasts on the flight line (as well as their aircraft!).<\/p>\n

On Saturday evening, AAAA is holding its annual dinner at the Moama Bowls Club across the river – tickets will be on sale on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

The last time this event was held at Echuca in 2011, I flew up from Tyabb in a SportStar with Mike Rudd, who made a couple of great videos about the show. You can click here for part 1<\/a> and here for part 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apart from the flying, Echuca is a great place to visit at this time of year, with paddle steamer trips on the Murray River as well as a great selection of cafes, shops and restaurants. Echuca is under\u00a0a 3-hour drive from Melbourne, and less from Albury-Wodonga, Wagga Wagga, Bendigo and the like, so even if you can’t fly-in, the location makes it a reasonable day-trip.<\/p>\n

Fingers crossed for good weather and I’ll be taking the Interstate Cadet to join the festivities. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
