Bandit12 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Welcome, I've been on the ground for 6 years now - it comes back, but I keep kicking myself for ever stopping!
dazza 38 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Welcome Jimmytwo, used to live on a Banana Plantation at Stuarts Point. 1975 to 1980.I havent been down that way since.I guess Kempsey and Macksville has changed abit.
JIMMYTWO Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 Hi dazza 38, Yes Kempsey and Macksville have grown a bit.Only found out the other day that the airstrip at Gumma is now closed.Dont know why. Did all my GA training in kempsey between 1975-77, and when i got my PPL used to fly Shark Patrols up to Scotts Head in the Clubs C172 They were great times.Hope to catch up with you one day.

I will have to find time to go down there and have a look.Cheers
Guy s Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Good chance i will be flying down to kempsey in a couple of weeks, with the eldest son going down there for a boxing match, with the boxers going down on a bus, and i thought hey why drive. But i reckon the weather will be a killer. Spend a lot of good times at scotts head Anyway welcome Jimmytwo. Cheers
Guest davidh10 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Welcome to the site JimmyTwo. You'll find lots of friends here. Bet you are glad you came back to flying. Hope your'e enjoying it. You'll probably find quite a few ALAs have closed... Was looking for a couple that were on the current charts, but one is a housing development and the other a shopping centre. Best not to land there now i_dunno
