2018 AAAA Grassroots Fly-in @ Leeton

2018 AAAA Grassroots Fly-in @ Leeton

This year's Grassroots Fly-in will be held at Leeton in NSW, you may recall we tried on multiple occasions to host this event back in 2016 to no avail due to significant flooding. All good things come to those who wait they say and we're promised an even more luxurious grass strip and camping area than before the floods.

Event Registration:

As there are no costs associated with running this event as it's contained on the airfield and food/drinks will be on a "pay as you go" basis, there is no registration fee for this event. We do ask you to register your attendance to assist with planning for parking and catering by the aero club.

What's Happening:

Whatever you make of it! This is a back to basics fly-in at a grass airfield where we hope everyone will camp under wing and enjoy flying until the sun goes down following by a meal on the field by the campfire. There are toilet and shower facilities at the aero club and we're told the whole airfield has had a makeover since the floods back in 2016.

There is no ground transport arranged so if you decide camping is not your thing, there are a number of hotels in town and we're sure a friendly local would assist with getting you into town and back.

Meals on the Field:

Our hosts for the weekend will be supplying the following meals for us on the airfield over the weekend on a pay-as-you-go basis:

Saturday Lunch: From 12:00

Saturday Dinner: From 19:00

Sunday Breakfast: From 8:00

Fuel:

AVGAS and MOGAS will be available on the field via drums and pumps, payments via cash or cheque only. Alternatively AVGAS can be obtained via the self-service bowser at Narrandera which is a short 10 minute flight away.
