"OSHDOK 2005"

6-7 August 2005 -- Thank you to everyone who came to Oshdok 2005 and helped to make it a great success. Dokkrai is now certified for HS registered aircraft to land. We had visitors, ultralights, experimental aircraft and paramotors from Eastern, Pattaya Airpark, Bang Phra, Chonburi, Dokkrai, Klang and Ban Beung and Sri Racha. The aircraft competed in Water Bombing with balloons and spot-landing competitions. The paramotors competed in Water Bombing, Engine off spot landing, and soccer penalty kick competitions.

One of the highlights of the event was "Ray-Bombing" (a moving target). Mom Term came from Klang.

Chonburi Flying Club sent many aircraft to Oshdok. Khun Jirawat won the "Ray-Bombing."

George demonstrated Soccer "Penalty Kicks" and Schmiermaxe brought in more oil.

Khun Niwat (Sport Flying Association) helped get the airport re-certified for HS aircraft.

John and Linda did a wonderful job getting everything ready and making everyone feel welcome.

Dr. Bamrung was Chaiman of Oshdok, and he came to welcome everyone to his airstrip.

Captain Bear & Special Representatives from Air America were on hand to help with the judging.

The Paramotor team put on a fantastic performance enjoyed by everyone (even kept Rolf on his toes!).

Sonny and Uthai flew in from Pattaya Airpark. Andy and Tom demonstrated exceptional skill in the Trikes.

You have heard of "OSHTAK"... Well, get ready for "OSHDOK 2005!"

The purpose of this fly-in is for pilots of ultralight and experimental aircraft all over Thailand to fly in and have fun. Dr. Bamrung is the Chairman of the fly-in allowing the use of his airstrip and inviting many VIPs to see the progress of general aviation. Khun John and Linda of Dokkrai Resort at Dokkrai Airstrip have invited the light aviation community to camp for free in front of their "Lakeside Clubhouse" parking the aircraft right next to the clubhouse and camping under the wing. Free swimming, Free showers, Free camping. Food and beer will be available in the clubhouse. This will be a fun event with aviation activities and aircraft displays. We will also have presentations on Aviation Safety to promote safe flying in Thailand. If the airport is registered for HS aircraft to land, then HS-registered experimental aircraft will be invited to join too.
