Joaquin Blanco Posted April 15, 2008 at 08:10 AM Posted April 15, 2008 at 08:10 AM I understand that there will be a fly-in this coming weekend between NZ, Norfolk Island, Sydney. In the post announcing this event it is mentioned that various controllers will be getting together from Friday to Sunday. Does this mean there is going to be full ATC coverage over Australia for this period? If so could you let me know when it starts/ends ZULU times. Always wanted to do some serious flying over OZ and this looks like a good opportunity to do so. Thanks & Regards Best regards Joaquin Blanco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
