Nanchang for sale?
Hi all, I see from the blogs a couple of CJ6/Nanchangs as WIP at Serpentine.
I am trying to locate a good airframe as a project if some one knows of one, selling, etc.
I already operate two in Victoria and looking for another project.
thanks

Really good airfield
Nice little town close to airfield. Friendly natives
See Country Airstrip Guide
papercollar@bigpond.com. Unsealed grass. Beware tall trees. Likely quite dangerous in certain wind conditions as the strip is 5.3nm from Bluff Knoll Mountain 3,606 ft

Brilliant strip and friendly aero club. Quite far from town you will need a taxi.
Tall trees
beware the very tall trees on approach

Great day trip for a pie at the Miami Bakehouse next door
Visited this strip for a pie at the Miami bakehouse. Strip is quite rough - fenced on both sides so animals don't get in. Prior permission is required from the owner.
The correct name for the gliding club
The correct name for the gliding club is "Beverley Soaring Society".
Jetstar International Customer Service
After a very long trip to the international airport to get first hand information on the flight status to Bali....due to the non-communication from Jetstar services re: flights to Bali,it was to our dismay, that no one, absolutely so one from Jetstar was in an information booth or was contactable. No person in attendance at the international airport from an airline that is supposedly, if you believe their advertisments, customer friendly. It has, this past week been a first hand experience of the lack of customer care and duty of care. It has been utterly, frustrating. The natural elements of course one can accept and understand and the airlines do have safety measures that need to be abided by. It is the total lack of duty of care to the paying customers that is unacceptable. I would not ever again, book or fly with Jetstar the subsiduary of Qantas. Qantas too, has been most unhelpful in their duty of care to customers. The customer service officers promised to sms, email and or phone for updates...in the past 7 days, not one sms, email or call. As a social media communicator I will make it a point to inform all, that the service received from this Australian airline and its Mother company, Qantas, were uncommunicative and unsupportive. The decision we make now is to delete all Jetstar and Qantas flights from our international itinerary, regardless of the discounted flights etc. Experience has proved that Jetstar and Qantas, are unacceptably not customer friendly.

Please contact us on 0451657887 or (archo@esc.net.au) if you believe that Credit Watch has led you to believe we are associated with Argyle Airport Australia International Pty Ltd in any way.

We have no association with Credit Watch.
re: re: argyleairportaustralia.com
Australia is currently run by people who have virtually no business acumen and do not encourage big or small infrastructure development. Look how Hockey has jumped ship as has done Abbott. They both do not have the guts to sit on the backbench. Currently listen to the whining of Abbott. He stabbed Turnbull and now cannot take his punishment for that error. Both of them just ranted on about road development. Neither had or have the intellect to run this magnificent country. I emplor every Aussie to get behind those who want this country to grow and provide good, interesting work for our young ones. If we cannot do that we fail. Understood.
forest airport
a great place that is not very well known and a lot of history was good to see even though i doped a nose wheel there
re: argyleairportaustralia.com
argyleairportaustralia is no longer an Australian company. We are not associated with ASIC in any way. Nor do we wish to in the future. ASIC simply takes money and is run by academic university graduates. ASIC holds back small business and takes from one hand and puts its other in a large pocket. We are a private infrastructure crew who fly by our ethical behaviour. We owe no one any thing particularly the amateur Australia government. Go off shore and prosper.

Wedding
Steve and I (Jan) had our wedding at Forrest Airport (Station) in 2014. And we will be going back for our 1st anniversary. In the midst Forrest Airport was changing managers. But, every thing went so smoothly. Including dragging the relatives there for just only 4 hours;), it is my day right. See them again in 3 months. Jan

When Capithetical (visionary people) is examined, and the Ord River Scheme (Lake Argyle) is understood, the realisation is that the costly infrastructure developed by the Western Australia Government suggest a potential growth in population, that will be required to further advance the wealth of the state.
How Much!!!!
They wanted $300 to land a light aircraft here! as apposed to $27 for Darwin. Go figure
Madura Airstrip
A very welcome sight when I broke cloud cover at 800 feet ABMSL in a Beechraft Bonanza. Overnight at the Motel.

Not quite long enough for international flights, but could be extended. Maybe too far from Kununurra airport and other infrastructure. Also for export of fresh produce grown by irrigation from Lake Argyle water, would be too far from the growers. However it could feed off a new international airport near Kununurra. Wealthy Chinese tourists would like to fly into the region however to buy diamonds direct.
Beverley YBEV
This airfield is owned by Beverley Council. Main user is the "Beverley Soaring Association" ie gliding club. Gliding occurs Fri-Sun most weekends by aero tow. During summer, multiple gliders may be airborne in the area at heights GL-12000ft. Frequency in use is 126.70.
Info
This strip is home of WA Skydiving Academy see waskydiving.com.au. Extensive parachute operations up to 15,000ft most weekends and occasionally Fridays and (less frequently) other weekdays. Aircraft operating include: Cessna Caravan C208, Airvan and Cessna C182. Drop aircraft use/monitor frequencies 120.3 (Melbourne Centre) and 119.2 (for local comms).
Jandakot is a Busy Airport
Statistically, this is Australia's busiest airport and it is primarily a VFR airport.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service has a base there and Singapore Airlines have some Learjets there for training but apart from that, the majority of aircraft operaing in and out of Jandakot are Cessna 152 / 172, Piper Warriors and the like.
Most of the traffic is pilot training, from ab-initio to twin IFR.
Many of the trainee pilots are foreign (China Southern has a flying school there) and their levels of English pronunciation and comprehension can vary significantly.
Air Traffic Control is generally very good but there is one miserable, rude, grumpy Tower Controller who is a disgrace to his profession. He is rude, bullying and tries very hard to intimidate pilots - especially the new ones. Fortunately, very senior management in Airservices Australia are aware of him and are monitoring his situation.
The bottom line with Jandakot is that it is a 'see and be seen' airport and you must keep your wits about you.
Make sure you read and understand the local procedures before you operate there.
Perth is a beautiful city and flying there is delightful. Jandakot is also a great airport, but like everything in aviation, it is unforgiving of inadequacy or un-preparedness.
Cheers.

Anyone know anything about this airfield?
Who owns it?
Racwa owned airfield
decent facilities. Has a landing fee.
great place
Friendly people, nice runways, lots of cool kit built aircraft and projects going on.
Great day trip
Awesome views, good day trip. There's a bunch of cafe's overlooking the reef and ocean 10mins walk north of the airport (sealed road). If you keep an eye out on takeoff or landing there's also a surprise in one of the forests - see if you can spot it.
Remember circuits are RH on 09 (all are to the south to avoid overflying the settlement) check the ERSA it has full details. https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/aip.asp

Hi
Hi
re: Dirt strip
Reply to @GlasairSportsman: Is it necessary to obtain permission to land at Dwellingup? If so, from who?
Can you land and tie down for 1 night?
Cheers
re: Wickham airport is closed
Reply to @GlasairSportsman: Thank you. I've updated the airport status. It's always sad when an airport closes.
Good day trip from Perth
Great for a day trip from Perth. Walk from the strip to the shops for lunch, then walk to Wave Rock. We loved flying there and back.
Great facility
Stayed overnight at Forrest. Great for a break. Airport manager was terrific.
Call in advance to confirm fuel is available.
Last fuel heading east till Forrest
Kal is worth a stop over to see all the mining history.
Refuel here before heading east on the Indian Pacific rail line to Forrest.
