Gallery: TAA "Summer Shootout" 27th & 28th February 2010
This was the 6th ASAA IMAC event hosted by TAA and Luke Cullen as Contest Director (CD). Although not the largest IMAC Luke has (CD) at TAA but it was the most successful. The weather was not looking very promising leading up to the weekend; however the weather god was looking after us with only a short 10 minute delay on the Saturday for a passing shower. Every competitor (28) walked away with a prize from the pilot draw valued at over $1200. Thank you very much to the sponsors Wings over the Downs, Desert Aircraft Australia, J & E plane covers and Aero Vinyl. Also a special thanks to the catering crew led by Glenn Fitzsimons and the cook Greg Gersch and helpers Simon, Phil, Steve, Peter N, Mark M, Chris and Dan, for the great food over the weekend. Competitors travelled from as far away as Bowen in NQ down to Wagga in Southern NSW. A great time was had by all as well as raising some valuable funds for TAA. Also thank you Barb from DMAC for the use of some of your photos.
