HTI
Seeing the amount of rock and soil they moved in order to contstruct this airport is mind-boggling.
OKY
Be sure to visit the Army Aviation Museum. Some great airshows were held here years ago.
Amberley
Lots of interesting military aircraft here.
TSV
Always efficient.
CNS
One of my all-time favourite airports, and cities. The birthplace of Bush Pilots Airways.
BNE
I can't wait until they open the new parallel runway. A pity it won't be pointing into the prevailing (south-easterly) wind.
KGI
Flying in here I am always amazed at the size of the holes in the ground. There must be some awfully big rabbits in these parts.
PER
This airport has to hold some sort of record for the number of SID's and STAR's. I guess they want to make it look like a big place. ATC seem to think they are at Chicago or somewhere.
One thing in very short supply is ramp space, and the delays in getting to the runway (particularly early in the morning - everyone seems to want to depart at 0600) are unbelievable.
A very clean and pleasant city though.
BWT
A cosy city.
KNS
The wind! The only thing between here and the South Pole is a barbed wire fence, and it is mostly broken down. Great seafood though.
LST
A lovely city, and very historic.
HBA
Last stop before the South Pole.
Parafield
A most friendly airport.
OLP
Growing to be a very busy place.
KBY
No shade anywhere.
RMK
Heart of the Riverland.
PLO
The tuna capital of Australia.
PUG
Birthplace of Pagas Airlines.
KGC
The main airport on Kangaroo Island.
CED
It takes a while to get there, but is worth the trip.
CPD
The opal capital of the world. The town looks deceptively small and uninhabited from the air, however most homes (and some businesses) are underground.
WYA
A pity they closed the third runway.
ADL
A great city, and very easy to get around.
SHT
A really friendly airport.
PTJ
Interesting weather in winter.
MBW
Back in the 60's this was the busiest airport in the southern hemisphere (by aircraft movements - most were training flights). Much quieter these days.
MQL
The best city in Victoria in winter.
HLT
Birthplace of Ansett Airlines.
ECH
Very historic town. Visit the paddlesteamers.
BSJ
Former WWII training airfield.
WGT
A real shame that the Airworld museum closed down.
MEB
Very handy for bizjets.
AVV
A handy alternate to Melbourne.
DPS
The runway gets extremely slippery when wet, due to years of buildup of rubber deposits.
LNY
A pleasant short flight from Honolulu.
HNL
A great airport to fly into.
YVR
Possibly the world's nicest city, and a very efficient airport.
VLI
Always enjoy flying in here. Can be a challenge when the weather turns bad.
TBU
A pretty place. Pretty frustrating too, as everything happens at snail's pace.
HIR
Needs some TLC.
APW
ATC are a waste of time here.
WBM
Just by Mt Sugarloaf.
RAB
Not as much fun to fly into as the original Rabaul airport. Had 2 wonderful years there.
MDU
I spent 18 months here flying a 206 in the 70's. Best flying I ever did. Miss it a lot.
HGU
A good airport, but too many rascals.
MAG
A truly beautiful spot.
KVG
Loved the few months I spent here.
KMA
Don't bother stopping.
HKN
Gateway to West New Britain.
