YLAG is not 620m in length, It's a privately owned grass strip, permission to land required, Max usable length is 500m with an approx. 1% rise from each end to mid runway.Sand dunes at NE & high trees at SW end of strip
Stan Tilley took me flying in his Airtourer from Sandfly in April 2013. After a lovely tour along the coast Stan treated me to my first aerobatic experience over Hobart harbour. It was a great treat to be shown how it is done by a real master.
The GA field for Hobart, just next to the International airport - so close they use the same tower.
Left Cambridge for a tour with Par Avion, www.paravion.com.au - to Melaleuca, a remote strip near Bathurst Harbour. It was just fantastic, this is really what flying is all about.
