Doesnt Kev Walters have a sportstar?....Shafs give him a ring he is out near atkinson dam it would only be 30 or 40 mins from your place

I'm about 30 seconds from my hangar and strip. Only problem is the strip is only 140 metres overall so experienced Savannah drivers only.

Mark and Shafs, the sportstar at Kev's is no longer available

Well my T500 is hangared at North Gabbin which is 3 hours one way from my place to the hangar door where I also have an old caravan I sleep in. Being so far away means an overnight stay in the old caravan or at Pol's place (700m through the scrub) if we talk too long into the night.

 

Pud.

 

PS. Just drove 10,000 kms there and back, just to go for a fly with farri and maj - would do it again in a heart beat!!!

With some of those trips, I guess I shouldn't complain about having to taxi for a kilometre because the council keeps closing the grass strip at my back door every time it rains...bad_mood.gif.04f799b8c2da677a1c244b54433f2aa7.gif

 

Just wish it didn't wear tires so much.

I think you should complain, at least on my behalf seeing it takes me 30-45 minutes to travel out there! But I guess they will close it for another year in view of the most recent storm.

Do you know why

To deter us from flying is the first thought that comes to mind but there are many other thoughts on the matter in existence.

0140h to YCNK, would be nice to be able to go to YWVA, but there seems to be a lack of available aircraft.
