Guest turnbase Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Just wanted to ask what would be your preferred airstrip in the Geelong area. I believe the the old Grovedale (Geelong) field is now a housing development so would that leave only Lethbridge or Barwon Heads as the preferred option?
prwood Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Grovedale still operating but you would need to phone first. Barwon heads, no problem but always pays to phone ahead. Join circuit X-wind (not mid-field) as parachute ops landing on field. CFI is Aub Coote & is not there on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Office phone # 52542338
Guest turnbase Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks prwood, Barwon Heads is a little closer to Leopold where my family is so is a much better option. Any ideas on any prevailing weathers etc. apart from parachute ops?

Any ideas on any prevailing weathers etc. apart from parachute ops? Crap until Sunday apparently and Barwon is very open to winds from the south and south-west. I am booked in for an AFR on Saturday out of Shepparton. My aircraft has been at Penfield for months undergoing maintenance and I rather desperately need some time in it before doing the test in which I'll be entering and departing Essendon. kaz
