dazza 38 Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 The guys are just playing, I think they are looking at live export. The family isn't stupid. 1
bexrbetter Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 You could start a Newspaper;The Wellcamp Guardian The Towoomba Crier. 1
dazza 38 Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Lets give the airport 6 months then lets see how it is going.
fly_tornado Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Today, the first problem of remote airport was accentuated, dash 8 has a fault and there are no mechanics onsite so Qantas has to bus the passengers down to brissy. All the customers that missed their adjoining flights in Sydney not happy. If a plane ingests a bird on landing, how much fun will it be changing an engine without a hangar or equipment?

A -8 broke down at Miles last shift. It is not a problem just at Welcamp. Qantas link may be better off selling their old 300 series and buy more 400 series.
Mick Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 No mechanics & no hangar is no different to Hervey Bay, Bundaberg & Gladstone just to name a few off the top of my head. No doubt there are lots more destinations that are also like this. When a Dash 8 breaks down in Gladstone ( and they do ) they can't just bus the passengers to Brisbane but somehow the world keeps turning and QLink keeps operating. 1
fly_tornado Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 But Wellcamp isn't pissy regional airport mate this is a $200M playa 1

Keith Page Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Good Afternoon I am after some advice here. Gina is going to buy a big dairy farm and it is in the South East corner only in the planning stage at the moment. I think she is on to this fresh milk thing to China. Just wondering if you are in the loop regarding Gina's export milk? Regards KP

There is plenty of room to build a maintenance hanger. Regards KP.
fly_tornado Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Chinese can't afford air freighted milk, Gina is doing powdered milk for baby formula. that was in the news mate, you need to read beyond the headline. Keith, Wellcamp is a great opportunity for entrepreneur like yourself. Ground floor opportunities like this come along once a generation
Yenn Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 Now that the future is supposed to be China and milk, wine etc. Rockhampton council are making noises that their airport should be used for freight. I doubt that it will be as I can't see China wanting air freighted beef, but it is just a sign of the greed around today. Wellcamp has got it, we want it.
Keith Page Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks for the correction F_T.. Regarding "China can't afford":- Well could it be? The aircraft is *China owned *China made *China maintained *China fuelled *China pilots -------- you know that will lower the prices and China has everything in house, only landing fees at Wellcamp. Then it must be baby formula to China?????????????. Regards KP.

The RAAF change them out in the middle of a desert, can not see Wellcamp being a problem. With your IT skills you can design the Risk Assessment/SOP regarding removal and replacement of an engine at the Wellcamp Airport. There is a job for you F_T, you know we get well paid for those tasks. Regards KP.
fly_tornado Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Keith, go and have a look in your local supermarket and find some food that has been air freighted to the shelf. See if you can find anything.
ExJourno Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 So when is Fly Tornado's Bulletin Service starting up? I can't wait to buy my copy of the first FT's BS... 1
fly_tornado Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Adam have you booked your ticket yet? all well and good to cheer from the sidelines but only money talks
ExJourno Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Without a doubt, you are either one of the great trolls I have encountered, or special. I'm thinking special.
fly_tornado Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 adam you're special in your own special way but not in a way that i am special. For clarification talk to your mum get a load of this bloke
fly_tornado Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Wellcamp set to ease looming pilot shortage, its a "coup" http://m.thechronicle.com.au/news/wagners-airport-signs-major-training-coup/2474805/
rhysmcc Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 maybe they do want to mix light cessna's with 747s lol
fly_tornado Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Not just any Cessna though, one flown by a student pilot
fly_tornado Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 badgerys creek could also have a flying school http://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/wagners-wants-build-sydneys-new-airport/2475913/
rhysmcc Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I wonder if maybe this is aimed at boosting the number of movements recorded at the aerodrome to then qualify for a control tower
fly_tornado Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 as times goes by its hard to work out what the Wellcamp plan is
