Description
Dear Jerilderie Aero Tow participants, there has been some talk of late that the event is at some risk this year due to height clearance, in some part this was correct. The good news is that Jerilderie will go ahead as normal.
Due to the great support we received from Miniature Aero Sports New South Wales Inc. CASA liaison officer, Mr Tim Nolan, as well as the LSF Committee in assisting with our height clearance application.
Please make aware anyone who is unsure of the status that the event will go ahead, and as usual we will be blessed with 4-days of perfect weather to boot!

Description
Jerilderie is located on the Newell Highway, approximately 60 kilometres north of the Victorian border and is nestled on the banks of the Billabong Creek, the longest creek in Australia.
Renowned in history for being the only place in NSW that Ned Kelly visited and the origin of the Jerilderie Letter, it is a thriving agricultural area. As well as producing rice, wheat, soya beans, canola, wool, beef, grapes, and onions, latest statistics show that 24% of the gross national tomato product is grown in the area, as well as 5% of the world supply of licorice. Jerilderie is considered the gateway to the Kidman Way, a fully sealed road to the outback travelling through Griffith, Hillston, Cobar, Bourke and onto Queensland.
