Sean Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Temperature going up. Nothing like the Scone I regularly land at:laugh:I'm thinking it must be in Qld................ Just over the NSW border somewhere You are getting warmer. Sean.
Sean Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Lock it in Eddy, I mean Yenn That has got to be runway 33 Rockhampton. Give that man a cigar...... Congratulations Yenn, it is indeed RWY33 YBRK A number of us flew out of YCAB to spend a few days at Raglan and we also went to Rocky for a day trip to see the MIG and an RV in final stage of a build. The photo of RWY33 Approach was taken from a “Sud Horizon” Model # GY80. Attached is a photo of our aircrafts parked at Raglan. CU Sean.
Yenn Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Sean. I bet it was nice and quiet at raglan. Did Leonie look after you well or was it Ronny and Helen. Don't know why it took me so long to see it was Rocky, I have flown there often enough.
Sean Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Fantastic Sean. I bet it was nice and quiet at raglan. Did Leonie look after you well or was it Ronny and Helen.Don't know why it took me so long to see it was Rocky, I have flown there often enough. Hi Yenn. Yes, we all had a fantastic time and we were all very well looked after by Ron, Helen, Lynne, Kiwi & Leonie. But please don't ask me about the Karaoke.....!!!!!!! I must be the only person in the world where someone has been singing Karaoke and was instructed to put down the mic and step away......!!!!!! But the more Bundy & Cokes I drink the more I sound like Frank Sinatra, I did it my way...........Go figure...... I look forward to the next time we go to Raglan. It is my longest XC to date, at over 500NM and some 8.7 hrs on the clock in total. And to fly in company with other aircraft & friends, it doesn't get much better than that, does it? Until my next "Guess The Airstrip". Cheers. Sean.
Guest travis Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 hi yen looks like the strip in the photo in your profile
Yenn Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 PaulN The picture had a dead giveaway, it's title was YADY, without that i would have guessed aomewhere in N. Qld.
PaulN Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Where did that come from Yenn ... that strip was posted "years" ago. Yeah, I've since learned to be more discreet with pic titles. D'oh!! Paul
Yenn Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 It was just where I opened up the forum and I didn't realise at the time that it was so old, sometimes it doesn't open at last page for some reason. Possibly because I have 2 left hands or maybe just because it is a computer.
Tomo Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 That be Tara me thinks. You thinks correctly too :thumb_up:
Relfy Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 did you drop through for a touch & go there Tomo? Thats one of my enroute options heading back to civilisation when i get my jabby. Looks like a nice strip.
Tomo Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah pretty much.... although I didn't land at all, just went and had a bit of a look and checked the place out. Seems like a pretty good strip I thought to.
Guest Maj Millard Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Hey I've flown over Tara (Inglewood -Chinchilla) and I didn't see that strip !!...must have been having lunch.........................................................................................
Guest Maj Millard Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Now if we were flying in the States we wouldn't be able to play this game. All the strips over there have the name painted in the middle, which is also a great nav aid. If you 'google earth' Elderslie (just east of Greta and North of Lyskintyre in the Hunter Vally) you'll see how it is done. This is the type off good stuff that CASA should spend their time doing for us aviators, who pay thier wages and retirement funds..................................
Tomo Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Hey I've flown over Tara (Inglewood -Chinchilla) and I didn't see that strip !!...must have been having lunch......................................................................................... It is easy to miss if you not paying attention... and if you're coming from the east you can't see it till you're over it... due to the tree line in the front, if it wasn't for the town and the highway out of town I probably would have had trouble finding it also.
Relfy Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Can't find that one Maj, but I do remember seeing a similar set-up at Cobar, next to the windsock.
Guest Maj Millard Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Relfy, from google earth the co-ords are: S 32. 35.54 E 151 .20.40 Good luck.
