X47B - An interesting future for US Naval Aviation

FTSA SYMPOSIUM 2011 

The FTSA Symposium 2011 will be held at Point Cook on Friday 4 March and Saturday 5 March.  The list of presentations looks very good and will include updates from our national flight test organisations.  Of particular interest is that some of the  presentations will be linked directly to the exhibits in the RAAF Museum.  So a very strong historical thread will be followed in keeping with this special location.

Why Point Cook?  2011 is the 90th anniversary year of the RAAF and Point Cook is a focus of much celebratory activity.  The anniversary is also the theme for the Avalon Expo and Airshow held concurrently from 1st March to 6th March 2011. 

 Costs are similar to previous years but we will be asking for a contribution for the dinner at Pelican's Landing to preserve our funds, most of which come from our corporate members.  More detailed information will be sent to members and made available here in the very near future. 

The Symposium application form and details is held in [FTSA DOCUMENTS][SYMPOSIA] with file named FTSA Symposium 2011 Registration (14Dec10).  Please download, fill out and return this form as directed.  And of course don't forget to put some money into the coffers to pay for it all!
