Huntfield
Ideally placed for a flight along the coast
but the strip is sand/ grass and rough in parts
taking off fully loaded over the suburbs is an experience
Do Not Go There!
Do Not Land There, it is a very dangerous place.
anyone have details about this place?
Can't see any runway on google maps
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

re: Mrs Smith is not a pom!
Nobody ever accused her of being a POM. Just acting like a toffee nosed POM who thinks that she is Gods gift to the Australian Aviation Industry. WRONG.
Can she fly? Does she have a pilots license? Or is she a self appointed Industry watchdog? And then if so, by whose authority and who has appointed both her and her POM Husband to police the local flying and other distant communities?
Pray for the day when some real down to earth proper aviators return to run the airfield.
How many of us would be more than happy to frequently fly in for a visit?
re: Flight 433
Thank you for this information. The web page for live flight information canno be loaded.

The airport is hidden under the trees. It looks better that way.

Flight 433
Emirates flight to Dubai - showing in departures as going to Singapore ???????
Jemalong Airpory
Can't seem to find the strip. Is it still in existence? Just looks like a paddock!
WHERE DOES ONE START? SIGNAGE ETC.
Good evening. As a recent passenger arrival and a resident of Sydney, my wife and I were appalled that we could not ascertain/find directions to the shuttle bus to "Park & Pay" building on the periphery of the Airport. Your wandering attendants had no idea; NO signage. We were tired, it was late, and eventually found out that Park & pay are not allowed to erect signage. GREAT STUFF. How dumb is this. We found the bus boarding site - eventually, after walking from one end of airport to the other. How the hell are overseas strangers going to find their way around ??? Don't worry about them. They'll be gone soon !!!
Next - Sydney Airport is (or should) be the GATEWAY to Australia. What a miserable, boring looking place it is. Why? It's merely a commercial venture. NOTHING to make overseas or interstate visitors feel - this place is so beautiful. Weeds all over the place - not a flowering shrub/garden in sight. Have alook at Changi, Singapore etc. & others.
Smarten yourselves up and make this boring airport a bit more 'user' friendly, that we Australians can be proud of.
Or don't you care?? Too busy pocketing obscene salaries? Over to you.

Hi
Hi
Misleading information about Meredith Airport
There is no such thing as Meredith Airport. The proper name should be Lethbridge Airpark, Lethbridge, Victoria. Some how this information has been misleading Google Maps to have their place label wrongly for Lethbridge Airpark. This causes great grief for Mr. Baum, the owner of Lethbridge Airpark and to the members of Geelong Sports Aviators (aero club) who uses Google Maps.
Can someone of this website delete any reference of Meredith Airport please? We will thank you dearly.

Looking to fly Baron 58 through to ACK in late Feb 2013
Thanks
re: Runway
It certainly seems that way, and Google is known to do that. But for the definitive answer, you'd have to ask Google since its their map.
Runway
Southern end of runway is sealed and top end appears to be gravel. Are these 2 seperate time sat photos?
Be prepared!!
If you're hoping for a quick trip through Customs/Immigration think on!! Unless things have changed greatly in the last couple of years be prepared for a couple of hours wait!! ...... and declare EVERYTHING!!
Johnston Atoll Airport
The airport was shut down in 2005 and the airstrip is not maintained.
The buildings once used are all torn down.
Charabah Airstrip
Dropped in the other day in the Foxbat. Nice Strip, sloping up towards the West. Approach was very bumpy with strong westerlies. If you overfly resort on arrival note that the resort is some 600ft higher than the Airstrip. Info says Elev. = 2200ft, but sign at airfield says 2000ft. Nice Resort. Reasonably priced, good food and friendly staff. Getting a bit old, but price / value ratio is good.
What airport?
Looks rather like a paddock to me!
Miles airport construction start up ?
Just enquiring about the new airport to be built and when will it be operational?
How far away is it from Miles itself ?
Thank you for your help.

re: Calga Airport

re: Unknown airport 25km NW of Alice
I can see why the confusion, though. If you zoom in on the long narrow strip of land that looks like a runway, those X things do kind of look like airplanes. http://goo.gl/maps/qtHCe Zoom in a bit further, and it becomes obvious they're not, however.
re: Unknown airport 25km NW of Alice
Reply to @Javelin:
It is not an airport. It is an antenna array associated with the Jindalee RADAR (JORN) facility.
One day soon I hope.
Having spent 2 years living in Rabaul when I was a kid, this is one airport I REALLY hope to be flying into one day soon. My love for Rabaul is so immense, I am now a member of the new Facebook group called Reviving Rabaul ENB. Our aim as a volunteer group is to do whatever we can to help return Rabaul to her former glory. If you feel the same way about our beloved town and want to get involved, come and check us out.
Thankyou.
Large slope to the north end of runway, easy to find. Very well maintained grass strip. Close to town. RDR
Top spot
Very friendly and helpful.Thank you, RDR.
