Guess The Airstrip

[PaulN]

OK people, I collected a few more pics today (not long before everything was totally enveloped by smoke). First, the easy ones ... nocheers for second guesses.

Approaching Tocumwal at about 1500' heading 225.

 

I love google earth.

 

How was it Paul? Good trip?

 

I nearly bent the Jab on Sunday after promising you I wouldn't.

 

Learned all about PIO (Pilot Induced Oscillation) on landing.

 

Bloody tough airplane!

 

 

[PaulN]

Hi Ross,

 

Yep, told you it was easy. Great flight, take a look at the "Great Trips" thread for a bit more story. PIO? Is that another way of saying "wandering"? Don't you love some of these terms .;)

 

OK, another easy strip (just for you Danda).

Were you in the Jabiru that came in there about 09.00 Tue morning, or where you in something else a little later?

 

I departed Toc in a J160 about09.00 bound for Hay and held on the taxiway for a Jabiru to come in, but I don't see me in the pic?

 

Regards Geoff

Sorry for not replying earlier Geoff. Yep, that was us. Great day for a fly, eh? (I must find out how to get my pics to show on these posts)

Hi Geoff,

 

I can't work out the first pic but I reckon the second (hazy view from about 3500') is Whyalla. You sure do get around mate.

[PaulN]

Hey Geoff,

 

Darned if I can figure this picture stuff. How did you get those thumbnails onto your post?

 

Paul

 

 

[Geoff]

Yep Whyalla it is 5500' just befor turning to Port Pirie the other is s.s.w.of there, {Thumbnails = Go Advanced Next to Post Quick Reply In additional options Manage Attachments} good luck Paul

 

 

[PaulN]

Ahhh, Cleve, looking NE. Looking at the WAC I would have expected to see some hilly stuff in the background but it all looks pretty flat in your pic. Perhaps I'm just too accustomed to hills that look like hills. Like I said Geoff, you sure do get about, like Cleve is 280nm from YMIA. Was this a day trip for the heck of it or what?

 

Thanks for the tip on posting pics.

OK, I'm a little more eductaed now. Let's try the pic again .

 

 

[Geoff]

Cleve it is. I went to a little place called Lock. Mate needed to have a look at a piece of machinery, was very impressed with the J160.Didn't get a pic of Lock "dumb" stayed over night in whyalla just for fun, 8hs round trip.

Irish taxiway . I know, I'm a bit slow ... I only just caught on to what you were talking about Pete, good one .

 

Paul

 

 

[PaulN]

No takers for my airstrip pic posted Dec 28?? Where are you Danda?

 

Here's another, not so easy to identify. So I'll give you a clue ... elev 5080ft (just a touch above coastal strips) with rwy 12/30.

 

Paul

 

 

 

[slartibartfast]

The 28/12 one was too easy - so I left it. Holbrook.

 

Today's can only be Cabramurra. The highest in the country.

 

"Warning: Hazardous Wind Shear"

 

Wish I had my XC so I could add a few photos, instead of guessing all those from lucky beeps like you Paul.

 

Ross

 

 

[PaulN]

Too easy Ross. Yep to both. For this next one you should sit on your hands again, OK.

 

Which strip is this, AND, what's its elev and rwys?

 

Paul

 

 

 

[Student Pilot]

No idea but were there Alpackers just near the hangers/machinery sheds and is the owner a pommie?

 

 

[PaulN]

Thanks Chris, but that's no reason to stay away from the forum ;)

 

Paul

 

PS Think of all the reading he will have to do to catch up :confused:

Onya Glenn, that's the one . Anyone else pick it?

[BigPete]

OK here's another one.

 

Less than 1 hour from Echuca. Sorry about the quality - very hazy.

[BigPete]

Glad I don't fly like I post.

 

Sorry Ian for the muddy footprints on your nice clean website.

 

This is the pic for above posting

Hey BigPete. Let's see. Town on a river, 1 hour from Echuca, distinctive runway configuration, Corowa?

 

I am doing my solo navex to there on Sunday and was drawing that runway into my notes last night.

 

Edit: I take it back. I just checked ERSA and the runways aren't quite right.

 

Can't be too far off though.

[Guest pelorus32]

YJER !

 

 

[PaulN]

I agree with Mike. Jerilderie at 67nm from Echuca that's about an hour in the Jab on a calm day ;).
