:loudspeaker: AIRLINER THURSDAY – MINI FLY-IN NOTAM

Thursday, 23 July 2026

Welcome to another Airliner Thursday Mini Fly-In!

Our Mini Fly-In format continues to offer multiple departure options, allowing pilots to select an aircraft category that best suits their preferred style of flying while all arriving together at our common destination.

This week’s destination is:

To help avoid parking conflicts, please advise your intended gate or ramp allocation before spawning into the simulator.


:airplane: A Friendly Reminder

Our Mini Fly-Ins are carefully planned so that each category enjoys a similar flight time while allowing everyone to arrive together at the destination. We encourage pilots to join from the published departure airports and enjoy the routes we’ve curated for the event, as this is a big part of what makes the Mini Fly-In experience unique and enjoyable for everyone.

We understand that real life sometimes gets in the way, which is why Category 4 provides a later departure option for those who can’t make the earlier start. Whenever possible, we’d love to have everyone join from the beginning and enjoy the full experience of the event as it was designed.


:globe_showing_asia_australia: Why Mini Fly-Ins?

Whether your passion is vintage classics, propliners, modern airliners or business jets, there’s a category for everyone. The Mini Fly-In format lets pilots enjoy their favourite aircraft while sharing the excitement of a coordinated arrival with fellow community members.

This week we’ll be converging on the spectacular harbour city of Sydney, with its world-famous skyline, Harbour Bridge and Opera House providing an unforgettable backdrop for our arrival into Kingsford Smith Airport.

:airplane: Fly Together, Fly Massive

Departure Times:

  • Categories 1, 2 & 3: 1115–1130 UTC

  • Category 4: 1200 UTC

We look forward to seeing aircraft from all four categories arriving into Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (YSSY).

See you on the ramp… and we’ll see everyone in Sydney!
