Horrors in Sydney
On 26 March 1943, a C-47 Douglas Dakota landed here for refueling and maintenance on its way to Sydney carrying a cargo of important radio equipment and components. The following morning at 5AM, the plane was taken out of its hangar and taxied out for takeoff, but unfortunately a thick fog bank had descended which was bad enough that another flight actually cancelled its scheduled run. Nevertheless, the crew of the C-47 was eager to get on their way to Sydney, as their cargo was of the utmost importance and they were on a strict deadline. Ignoring the dangers of the prevailing conditions, the plane took off into the fog anyway, but moments later veered off course and banked hard to careen into a stand of trees, explode into a ball of fire, and plow through thick brush to end up in swampland, killing all 23 people aboard.

Event Background
Hey all! So many probably know I’m a huge commercial aviation enthusiast and I don’t hold much love for GA. I’m hoping to change that by starting a weekly GA mini event where we go out and do touch and goes while chatting in a private chat.
Today’s first event in this series (not FVA related) will revolve around that spooky time of the year.
Gates at this airport will not be assigned. I will write down the names and aircraft people are attending in though.
Any future airports you would like to see us visit please mark below. ⚰️
Aircraft Action:
In this mini event, simply spawn in at 2000Z and do some touch and goes and “dogfight” if you come in military jets :)
