Thank you - I've updated the airline's home base in the database: http://www.ourairports.com/airlines/FQ/
MID COAST FLYING - Recreational Aviation
Learning to fly was once out of reach - but now recreational aviation is cost effective! A stepping stone to larger aircraft... or a chance to kickstart an aviation career! Learn to fly around the beautiful Macleay, in uncluttered airspace. For more information visit midcoastflying.com.au.
Gawler Aerodrome
Pricipally a glider aerodrome run by a club.
It has fuel and hot water, nothing else.
If you know someone there by all means visit the place otherwise stay away they do not like visitors.
Having said that once they get rid of the current management comittee it will turn into a nice place, if you think I am wrong or biased then by all means go there
any flights to king island????
can i catch a plane to king island from there?
Runway 12
Watch for Birds over the rubbish Dump on late final to Runway 12, grass strip.
Great for both airline (passenger) and general aviation - we
Back in 1999 I was traveling to Australia for business. I managed to spend some time visiting Cairns. I flew up from Sydney on a 747-SP, walked down the jet stairs on to the apron - cool! Then later on in the week I rented a C172, VH-WHK, along with an instructor to fly up the coastline sight seeing. Amazing! I also was amazed to see an HF radio in this C172 - but this made sense, since you are often in the outback. Great times - I hope it is still the same or better.

Good morning from Monaco
I'd appreciate hearing about any tip or hint regarding the air route to be initiated by Inter Island Air on their planned service : SUV/PPG
There is a chance that I fancy flying aboard the maiden flight of that logo.
Gratefully yours,

No AVGAS.
What a dumb idea to run a great big dry Airport.
Gove,
Good fishing, the night life nearly drove me round the bend. Airport a ways out of town, taxi booking can save a long wait.
Well worth a visit
Great Spot. Fuel. No landing fees. It's a good alternative to Port Augusta. The AP Manager is a top bloke.
La Tontouta
Great airport, everything works, and spotlessly clean.
Wattle Hills Airstrip
Good sand strip but private. Cranky mob unless you are really stuck. No drinking water, no fuel (even if caught out) or facilities other a bit of a gunyah to get of the sun. Best to head to Lockhart. Mail service uses strip most Wednesdays. Flying Doctor calls also.
Finley
Beware of the powerlines on approach.
Evans Head
A former WWII RAAF airfield, with plans to develop it as a residential airpark.
Emirau
An airfield built in WWII with still good paved runway surfaces. A lot of history here.
Cape Gloucester
Beware of ash and rocks from the adjacent volcano.
Caloundra
Home to the Queensland Air Museum, which is definitely worth a visit.
Bulolo
An incredible aviation history here, dating back to the 1930's, when Junkers were used to fly in a complete gold dredging plant.
Broome
Quite a busy airport, with lots of Cessna Caravans coming and going. A great town too.
Bialla
Always enjoyed flying in here, as it is well maintained. Recommend landing from the sea (RW11) and taking off on RW29.
Anguganak
Always humid here, and the airstrip is subject to occasional flooding.
Rude and arrogant at Aldinga
Beware. Rude, arrogant and only have ears for the sound of the cash register.
Don't spend money, not interested in you.
3 runways in operation with bad radio calls. Spent 3 days in South Australia based at Aldinga. Never again.
It is a place waiting for an accident to happen. Bad flying culture.
Got abused by some rude Brit for something perfectly innocent and normal.
Most expensive Avgas around.
re: USA Army Air Corps World War II
I am trying to find out what units were on Tongareva in mid 1944--can you assist?
Brindabella
Brindabella Airlines home base in not Brisbane, but Canberra

re: field elevation!!!
Thanks for the warning. There are a batch of smaller Australian airports where the elevation in meters was labelled as feet in a free dataset at some point in the past, and that data has made its way to many aviation web sites, including OurAirports. We're fixing the problems as we find them, and I've updated Kyneton now.
Feel free to point out any more problems, or even better, create a free OurAirports account and you'll be able to edit the airport information directly.
Thanks again!
Casterton airfield
This airport is a single unsealed runway and is akin to landing & taking off from an aircraft carrier. eg: ~
field elevation!!!
Hi guys,
Think you need to check the field elevation on the pilot info page, unless the runway is underground,
Cheers,

skypig on Aldinga Airport
Arrived at Aldinga area, could not relate to traffic in the circuit as there where 3 runways being used at once.
Finally figured it and joined the circuit for 21. Nearly had a midair with a sports star who did no radio calls.
Aborted and went to Goolwa. Subsequent conversations with other pilots advise bad news in the circuit and dangerous.
Operators refuse to take heed and conduct low level circuits with no radio calls and I am reliably informed that situation is deteriorating.
Strong indications that operators do not want visiting aircraft as visiting pilots have been abused for no real reason.
great airport
Facilities great. Looked after by the local flying club. Bowser fuel 24/7 at reasonable price and plenty of goodies in the fridge. (pay on an honour system...price list on fridge) Can toast sandwiches, make coffee, soup etc and relax in the lounge. excellent stopover on the way north.
Colin
facilities
First time on KI. Beaut flight down the coast and across the water. Fantastic runways, even the dirt one but what a big disappointment with the facilities at the terminal. A vending machine and water fountain, and this is supposed to be one of the premier tourist destinations in not only SA but Australia. Whoever is in charge needs to get their act together. Port Pirie which isn't even an RPT airport is streets ahead
great hospitality
Decided to make another trip down from Parafield via the coast and Coorong as a birthday present for a longtime friend. Circled the town and on landing was greeted by George who thought it would be nice to come out and say g'day. Not only that he gave us a tour of the town showing all the new development taking place and dropped us off at the cafe/restaurant by the lake. Hospitality there fabulous as was the food and view over the lake. Gotta have their burgers. Wandered back up to the main street and rang George to thank him for all he had done and he insisted dropping us back at the strip...only a 15 minute walk anyway. This has to be one of the best kept secrets close to Adelaide. GREAT DAY OUT!
Thanks again...Colin
airport

CTAF Incorrect

hi
General Info
Non-towered. Radio calls "Myrup Traffic" on 126.7 Mhz. Runways are 04/22 and 14/32. 04 is a right hand circuit, all the others are left hand. Look out for kangaroos on the runways when arriving around dusk.
Correct IATA code?
Wikipedia seems to think that SXE belongs to the RAAF base at East Sale while the OurAirports DB has SXE associated with both (shouldn't this be a unique key?).
Still a good airport
Still to many rascals
