SAAM Engine Run

On Saturday 25th October 2008 the 5DME crew attended the South Australian Aviation Museum at Port Adelaide for their "Engine Run"

Several engines were on display with about a half dozen being fired up!

It was great to see and hear these engines up close and so you can look for yourself we have some short video and photographs. However, nothing is like being there! When SAAM hold one of these events again it is a "must experience" event.

The museum is located at Lipson Street Port Adelaide and is open 10:30am-4:30pm every day. Please contact SAAM for details.

It is well worth a visit even if you are not an enthusiast!

5DME Adelaide Aviation & Flight Simulation is Adelaide's premier aviation web site. We are a small number of enthusiasts that monitor and observe real aviation. This site is not just a collection of thousands or even millions of photographs from everyone. It is dedicated to aviation in Adelaide, South Australia.

Our Interest

As our contributors have a personal interest in aviation we frequent various Adelaide airports from Parafield to Aldinga and try to collect photographs, videos and the latest news. We do not rely on public input for our collections. The information is displayed is collected by 5DME our collection and displayed to the public for general interest.

BLOGS

Along with the aviation photos and video we also try to gather as much news and information about aviation and aircraft in South Australia. You can keep up with what information is available in our Adelaide avaition blogs.

Check out our blogs (5DME and On the Airwaves) for the latest news.

FS SERVER

Some of our contributors are keen on aviation but don't have the chance or resources or other reasons not to actually fly in real aircraft. They are still keen and as well as gaining enjoyment from collecting content for this site they enjoy the occassional use of Flight Simulators.

We have a FS server where we can log in and participate in real time flight simulation for training, education and enjoyment. This server can host many pilots and aircraft and has ATC and radar to allow a more accurate representation of the real thing. After all, it's all about the real thing!

There is NEWS and Tips and Tricks. Feel free to look around.

Please note: We are not a general admission group where people can join as members. We gain a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction providing content for other readers/enthusiasts. We like gathering information, taking photos and video, for you view.  (see Legal page)
