Viva The Whitsundays
Landed here on a short (maybe 15 minutes) shuttle flight in a Cherokee 6, from Hamilton Island where we just arrived from Sydney. Absolutely fantastic views of the Whitsundays Islands :-)
The grass runway is located between two big hills so you basically can't see the circuit on the downwind leg (which is itself above water) and keeping the runway centerline is not just an option here...
Oh I almost forgot the subsequent sailing around the Whitsundays was awesome too !
Skyfox Gazelle
had a TIF on a Gazelle ultralight there. How slow compared to the Warrior, but also how easy to fly. Flying at fairly low level above the beach, awesome :-)
MCY
A great place to fly into, but ramp space is very limited.
CTL
A much busier airport back in the 70's.
BCI
I flew in here in a Stearman one day, and was warmly welcomed by about half the population of the town. A nice friendly place.
ROK
Situated right on the Tropic of Capricorn. A cattle town.
ISA
A good airport and quite an interesting city.
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.
OOL
On the beautiful Gold Coast.
GOANA Air Safari
Landed here for fuel in 2002 - I don't think we saw a soul except for our fellow tourists. Pumped our own fuel - Australia does have self-serve, I think it was on the honour system too.
could you please email any information on the proposed airpo
