Recently flew into Cobden and have to say its one of the few strips in Australia that i really respect. Unsealed gravel is now sealed asphalt. Keep an eye out for high rising terrain to the north and industrial factories to the south.
I know who owned this strip up to and maybe even current, the strip is ideal for LSA, Gyro even VH registered aircraft up to Piper Arrow etc. There was fuel and a lunchroom and a bunk to rest.
Food for thought: What would happen if you ever needed an emergency flight by the Royal Flying Doctor Service or Air Ambulance or Care Flight. These aircraft aren't manufactured with pilots in them, no, they have to do lots training both on the ground and airborne and whilst you might think the pilot flying overhead is annoying he or she just might save your life or that of one of your family one day. So instead of lambasting them for upsetting your peace and quiet say a little prayer of thanks that they are doing something worthwhile with their lives. Next time you take off in a jumbo jet there's a real human being up front, in fact two, one is a pilot and the other is his co-pilot and without them the aircraft doesn't take off. When there are no aircraft flying that's the time to start worrying.
For the past week, small aircraft have been flying constantly all and everyday for the past week......Can someone please put a STOP to this as it's VERY inconsiderate of our peace and quiet around the area of Ocean Shores and other areas......Please act ASAP!!!!
Thank you
Low flying plane for more than an hour this morning!
We live in myocum & most mornings we are woken to the noise of low flying planes. One in particular flies over & over for ages. Why can't they fly out to sea instead of flying over a residential area? Seems as they are a law unto themselves. Planes have been continuously flying low over our house for over an hour this morning!
Am wanting to enquire who I need to speak with to arrange access across Air Services Land to the rear of my Property in Northview street Gilliestion Heights in install an inground swimming pool. Ideally needing access to allow small truck and Excavator to enter my property from the rear
Please call me on 0409 744 734 or email the.poolman@myacn.net.au
Who are the idiot joyriders plaguing us with continuous low swoops over our property and surrounding area of Myocum? ah, is this yet again the way our rights to peace and quiet are to be invaded by tourists and other jokers in planes? This plane was just above the gums on their lowest swoop.
I learnt to fly based at this strip and found the owner (Bob McIntyre) to be the nicest of blokes you will meet. Bob maintains the strip in an immaculate state and is keen to say gudday to all those that drop in.
The strip is set in amongst his sugarcane crops and is a very picturesque location so take your camera.
Flying from Port McQuarrie to Lord Howe Island for r&r/diving and encountered a large rain storm that came down in buckets. Had to circle for about an hour before tower advised it was okay to land. Still was certain we were going to skid off the end of the runway and into the ocean but we made it safe and the pilot shook everyones hand afterward (all 6 of us).
Didn't fly in or out of here as we drove in to visit friends in the area but went to the airport to pick up some cargo. Fun town with some great bars but the locals can get rowdy so be aware and leave quickly if you must.
Been on international flights landing here on 6 occasions and domestic flights over 20 times in the past. Never had any issues with customs, finding information or connection times (when relevant). Easy to get around, customs is friendly and helpful and of course you are in Oz so things just feel better. Taxi lines can be crazy sometimes when hundreds of people get out at the same time but no major issues.
Bunyan Airfield is the home of the Canberra Gliding Club, which has operated from this site for more than 30 years. The site offers a range of lift types, including thermals, ridge soaring, mountain lee waves, and seabreeze convergence lift. The Australian altitude record for gliders (33,000 feet above sea level) was set during a flight from Bunyan Airfield in 1995 using mountain lee waves.
Flight was great. Got threaten by a terrorist but it was worth the experience. I would recommend Yass airport to anyone who truly wants a great aussie experience, even though I nearly died after hitting a cow but still it was great and there is only ten plane crashes a year. Definitely returning with my family, I definitely McLoved it!
The airport security was awesomely slack too, the staff all bogans and the plane took three turns to take off, but you know what? I McLoved every second of it.
Today 08/03/2015 is a very momentous day for WOL(Illawarra Regional Airport). Today is the day that VH-OJA a QANTAS B744 VH-OJA takes her final flight from SYD to WOL, this flight is sheduled for 07:30 AEDT. The flight will last 15 mins aprox.
Coffs Harbour Airport is one of the largest and busiest regional airports in NSW. Passenger numbers have increase from 270,000 to 340,000 in the past 5 years. The airport passenger terminal has recently been upgraded and has daily flights to Sydney served by Qantaslink, Virgin Australia and Tigerair Australia, daily flights to Brisbane served by Brindabella Airlines and twice weekly flights to Melborune served by Virgin Australia. Facilites of Coffs Harbour Airport include: Two Runways the longest at 2080 meters, Aero Club and Flying Schools, Air Traffic Control Tower, Security Car Park, Security Screening, Qantas Club, Cafes, and Modern Check-in and Baggage Collection Facilites.
Awesome location for hunting, Pigs Goats, foxes rabbits at Tilterweira Station. Looking forward to my next visit with my 300Winmag : ) and not driving from Syd just a sweet fly in.
