Great airport
lots of history and a great aviation museum with an Avro Anson. Nice bitumen runway. Airshow on in October 2015
Interesting Runway
Last visit there was a drainage ditch across about 100 m of the western threshold.
Otherwise, beware parachutists and when grass long and wet.
Still in use?
This airport lies within the RAAF Edinburgh airspace and is no longer in use for general aviation. I guess it would do in an emergency. It is the location of the Bolly Aviation propellor business and still appears to be used by helicopters.
Greed Greed and MORE GREED
The most greedy and cunning family operated airport ever, lies and more lies from the Owners Son, and the Mums worse, the lies start the moment they open their mouths, STAY AWAY,,,
No longer operational
Taken over by land developers about 2013(?)

Lakes Entrance - flights to it
Do Charter flights operate in summer? Is Lakes Entrance a real airport for commercial flights of any sort or just for private planes?
CTAF
Note that YGWA has its own CTAF frequency- 126.95
Was a beautiful thing
Our family used it for 16 years while living in the village. The airstrip was in our backyard, you might say. Served us well. Unfortunately it will probably never serve that way again, though could still be resurrected if there was a need. But with flying costs so high and a 'road' into the village now that sometimes operates it is hard to imagine what would constitute a need…
Wineries
This is a great base to fly-in and visit area wineries. We had a great lunch once at Tahbilk, but there are lots of other cellar doors and restos around.
Inquiries on Caboolture aiport
does this airport have a fuel farm? If so, what company and whereabouts is it located in the airport?
Ingelara
I used this air strip many times and found it excellent for my C182 and the family that own it wonderful people and they donate the landing fee to the Royal flying doctor service and I believe they should be thanked for making it available. I always took my portable electric fence with me to keep the cattle away should they be on the strip after landing.i am going back there shortly and I will report further. Peter Pigott VH UPT
Hangarage at Romsey
Does any one know who to contact about hangarage out there?
Guam operations
I was based here with NWA in the mid 90's. Best airline flying of my career.

Like anyone would fly into that place!
Drove past it once
I would like to charter a plane to fly my wife and I from sydney to appollo bay for the weekend
Misleading use of another Airfields name
Whoever is managing the online presence of Romsey Airfield is deliberately misleading people by using Sunbury Airfield's name of "Penfield". The Penfield name comes from Alexander "Doc" Penny, who founded Penfield Airfield at 295 Settlement Road, Sunbury. You are also using Riddell Airfield's name, most likely without their permission. You are obviously doing this to gain more "Key Word" searches, so that people who are searching for Penfield or Riddell will be directed to your business, but what you are doing is illegal and false advertising. Please remove the false name from all your online listings immediately! Penfield Airfield Owner.

Penfield location
Penfield airfield is located at 295 Settlement Road Sunbury. Current google map has it a Romsey, this has been changed recently and was a mischievous act.

Landowner disputep

Waratah village

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
Te Anau airport closed permanently
The Te Anau airport was closed permanently about 2009.
The runway had white crosses marked on it (see Google Earth image) to indicate its permanent closure and the land has been sold.
All the services and flying activity has been transferred to the upgraded Manapouri Airport (5km north of Manapouri township).
how difficult is it to reach?
has anyone been here before? whats it like and how long does it take to get here? depart from port moresbey or lae
ADG goes EPA
The operators who continually breached the agreement of 20,000 movements p.a. ( Over 40,000 movements, in breech of the act) applicable to the airfield, have now been the main reason that the airfield has to have an EPA license.
What a disaster and what a tragic result and sad result for a beautiful country airfield. All in the name of the dollar and at every other shareholders expense in terms of rules, regulations, impositions, restrictions, pending fines and whatever else the EPA can come up with.
This will now be the only EPA licensed airfield in South Australia. A Government Environment Protection Dept.
It makes one wonder what compensates for greed? At the imposition and impact on others airfield users who did not violate the rules and therefore are not responsible for this airfield now to be forced to be EPA licensed.
Watch out for the snakes!
Upon landing my plane was immediately surrounded by a variety of colourful, but presumably deadly, snakes. I immediately took off again and have been having nightmares ever sinnce - 2/10.

Should passengers arrive earlier than usual?
BBQ next weekend (18th October 2014)
There is a bbq to be held for the hangar owners at B/M this weekend. Kicking off around 11 am. All local aircraft owners & Hangar owners are welcome. Venue Paul K's hangar (opposite the Flying School)
feedback appreciated
Hi anonymous you are welcome to call or enail at any time with your concerns as im a little confused where they come from given; we have no landing fees, we welcome anyone to drop in so long as they call first, our Avgas prices are cheaper than the neighbour and we have the best hire rates for RA and GA aircraft in Melbourne.
nav beacon
the Avalon NDB was decommissioned several years back
nav beacon
the NDB listed is off the air, decommissioned in 2011
Wrong location
The location of the hanger (not sure of the name) is actually -37.806135,175.281436
Skydive centre
This airport is virtually a skydive centre these days.
Planes too noisy over farms
Would whoever runs the pilot training at Romsey airport show some consideration for nearby farmers and reduce the number of take off and landings into or from the north. Some days the you can't hear a person speaking to you as planes fly so low over our farm. Given that to the south of the airport there are no residences, please take off and land from that direction. If the wind isn't suitable then don't fly for training. Thanks. Patrick Francis Moffitts Farm
Distance from Berwick
How far from here it Berwick by road is the traffic bad?
re: He's at it again.......
Just reading the blogs. It would be laughable about the comment interesting if it were not true.
Sadly, what was stated is true plus a lot of the other blogs about the airfield and its operators.
Most expensive fuel and most expensive instructional rates.
The good comments are possibly posted by the operators or their stooges.

— Anonymous Flyer at Aldinga Airport, Australia
Nice tea and scones , a couple of biplanes and a few taildragging aircraft doesnt make up for ridiculous increases in traffic , crowded circuits , 100hr inexperienced RA instructors and rude unsafe radio etiquette . I'm disgusted at whats become of this once fine example of a Australian GA strip .Its been 9 months since I last landed my twin there and until Adelaide Biplanes and their commercial operation leave it will be my last . It saddens me to think that this is somehow what they want , total control of the YADG CTAF . I feel for the original hangar owners who based their aircraft there , lets hope Casa the EPA and the Aldinga Aviation group do the right thing .
And yes I am anonymous. .. Ive been warned of the smear campaign tactics of ABP .
