That's it Tomo..thanks. Simple, easy to do, great nav aid, is that why the yanks have been to the moon and nobody else has yet ?? Lets see what CASA can come up with, to stop us painting names on airstrips. Distracting, disorrenting, confusing ????

 

Elderslie has been used as a Skydiving DZ since the early 70s, there is a huge 'back to Elderslie' thing on next year which I will be attending. I'll fly down and may drop in on you again Tommo, then Casino. Looking foward to it......................................................

un familiar strips

 

hi all , looks like this is all moving at a very slow rate , maybe this will get it going . how many different strips have you landed on , inclueding private roads , clay pans etc . at a rough count i think i have touched down at 40 different places ....

 

 

[Geoff]

Ok I will give you a few:laugh:, starting with a easy one :thumb_up:

 

 

 

[BruceScott]

Cheers

[Geoff]

Donald it is:clap: I have landed here to ?

 

 

 

[BruceScott]

Hi Geoff

 

this one looks a bit harder, the donald one just looked familiar landscape.

 

Few lakes in the background,

 

Will keep thinking,

Hi Geoff

 

Looking at that photo got me wondering where it was, I thought that it had to be somewhere where larger aircraft used it and the big sheds. No real town close handy so has to be a large regional airport.

 

Somewhere near the coast looking at the country.

 

Cheers

 

Bruce

 

 

[Geoff]

Near water yes and it has a bit of a town close handy.

 

 

[BruceScott]

G'day Geoff

 

Just dawned on me, the bay is there, is it be avalon. maybe:clap:

 

The big sheds are the qantas maintenance hangers.

 

Bruce

 

 

[Geoff]

Yep Avalon it is Bruce. I don't know if you get around much this one is a bit further away.:big_grin:

 

 

 

 

[Guest JRMobile]

Could it be Tindal Air Force Base NT

 

JR

 

 

[Geoff]

Yes it is Tindal JR :clap:I think its time for thisi_dunno

 

 

 

[PapaFox]

Looks to me like Kingscote

 

 

[Geoff]

Kingscote it is not bad from a guy from Temora. Guess I will have to up the anti a bit.

 

 

 

[BruceScott]

i_dunno

 

Hmm a little bit harder,

 

have not been to too many airports as yet, but have seen a bit of country from the ground.

 

Could it be somewhere east of the adelaide hills, but this is just a really wild guess.

 

Cheers

 

Bruce

 

 

[Geoff]

Bruce you need to look north from where you live at least 1000 or more k

 

 

[Guest JeffC]

Hmm - could it be Emerald?

 

 

[Geoff]

Yes it is Emerald. So, how about this,I have been hear as well.;)

 

 

 

[BruceScott]

North Qld somewhere but not sure where.

 

cheers

 

Bruce:cool:

 

 

[Geoff]

Yes Bruce it is in F.N.Q. but where?

 

 

[BruceScott]

G'day Geoff

 

I cheated as I have never been there, I had a look at where I thought it may have been on Google Earth and figured it out but I will leave it for someone who has been there to solve.

 

Cheers :thumb_up:
