     Description of ride: 

    Iron Arse Big Smoke to Temora / Barmedman Tractor Pulls????
     Date:

    3rd March 2012
     Destination: Temora Plane Museum Scheduled Flight Day
     Route: (incl meeting points/times) Open to alternatives - Heathcote Macca's, Albion Park, Macquarie Pass, Goulburn, Yass, Temora and back again..........
     Who's coming: FTBOB (Scotty), and any other mad bastards

    Been wanting to do this for a while and since rugrat number two has hit the six month mark, the leave passes accumulated now need using.

    Iron Arse - 450km there and 450km back in the day

    Plan to leave Heathcote Macca's 6am, minimal stops, arrive Temora Plane Museum (see below info) 10.30-11am, have alook around some grub and head back around 2pm. 

    Never done it before and don't know the area so open for alternatives and advice. - and call me soft but if its crap weather I aint doing 1000km on a wet day.

    The Temora Aviation Museum is built on the site of the biggest and longest lasting RAAF Elementary Flying Training School during World War II. 10 EFTS was established in May 1941 and training ceased in May 1945. A total of 2741 pilots were trained on Tiger Moths at Temora.

    • The History of the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation
    • The Magic of Flight
    • The RAAF in Korea
    • CAC Sabre
    • A tribute to No10. Elementary Flying Training School
    • Major Contributors to the preservation and operation of ex-military aircraft in Australia
    • Martin Baker Ejection Seats

    Would love to do an overnighter guys, but at this stage limited to (and looking forward to) a good hard day run to clear them cobwebs. Hook up for lunch and make me suffer watching you all drink some of the amber stuff............
    I'll be still doing the day run if anyone is interested in the early start

    Have been many time to Temora Aircraft Museum, the best aircraft museum in australia if you ask me it very well attended on flying weekends. I have rode there and back on the day but its a long haul overnight stay is the better option but make sure you book as there is limited places to stay in Temora. There is a camping ground right at the museum.
