The Certified Air-Ground Operator does more harm than good. Better off leaving it just as a CTAF (R).

GOANA Air Safari

— @Tony at Port Macquarie Airport, Australia

We landed here in 2002, during the bush fire season. There were brush fires burning West of the airstrip, and we flew long curving finals to avoid the smoke. We were grounded there for two days, IMC in smoke. Australia is a very interesting country! We used the time to go on a boat tour of the estuary, visit a Koala sanctuary and visit several pubs.

Landed here in 2002 as part of our GOANA Air Safari trip - then we flew up the coast past Sydney at 500 feet!

This is a very nice tourist stop - lovely beaches, great fish and chip shops too!

GOANA Air Safari

— @Tony at Goondiwindi Airport, Australia

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.

GOANA Air Safari

— @Tony at Echuca Airport, Australia

Flew here with a GOANA air safari trip in 02 - each couple flew their own Cessna 172. Very picturesque little rural Australian town. Spent time walking around the old part of town and had supper on a riverboat - we were told that all towns in Australia are like this :P

Wine Tours

🔗 Sat, 21 Jul 2007
— @Tony at Mudgee Airport, Australia

Flew here with a GOANA air safari trip in 02 - each couple flew their own Cessna 172. We were grounded here for 48 hours by a dust storm, and we had to do the wine tasting tour twice!
