dangerously low


Recommended Posts

Anyone flying into Daly Waters on 14 will naturally be landing a little long due to the trees growing through the Tarmac at that end of the strip. A number of us landed there on a flyaway a couple of years back coming in over the top of a caravan and four wheel drive parked on the piano keys. The driver came over as we were tying down surprised that the strip was still in use when you have such serious shrubbery growing on it. He said, after the first plane came in he was too scared to move so just stayed where he was until we had all landed.

One of the official viewing areas for Tullamarine is in line with the centreline of rwy 16, off Sunbury Road. All you can see from this location is the underbelly of aircraft landing on 16, although at 200 - 300 ft above you. A much better spot is Church Lane, a few hundred metres west.

An example of the photos you can take from Church Lane.
