November's Red Bull Air Race

Post by Brett »

Hey guys, has anyone heard anything about the Air Race this year? Apparently CASA still haven't approved the race itself but the State Govt. is pretty confident on the race going ahead.

Is there any word on the avaition freqs for the gig?

Anyone know if there will be a radio broadcast of some sort happening? Or should we all have our trusty scanners at the ready to hear when they are about to fly through?

If you go to the South Perth Foreshore I have read they will have lots of things happening from Friday until Sunday and that that is the best vantage point.
