The current airport is closed (NOTAM) for upgrading. Bitumen strip to take aircraft the size of the Dash 8. No idea on the estimated completion date.

Airport is about 10Km south of the town.

Hope this helps.

Ideally placed for a flight along the coast

but the strip is sand/ grass and rough in parts

taking off fully loaded over the suburbs is an experience

History please.
Anonymous flyer on Warracknabeal Airport view thread | reply
 

I remember it well.

I have been trying to work out when it was that I flew to Wakkacknabeal Airport the first time. It must have been around 1960.

There was nothing at the airport except a field as I recall. Not even a loo.

I flew up from Melbourne to visit relatives.

I would be very interested to learn a little more about the history of this airport and about the type of aircraft I arrived in. It may have been a DC3?

Any old photographs?

Looking forward to hearing from someone. I am an Australian but have lived in Hong Kong since 1976.

My email address is grahamelsom@gmail.com

Many thanks.

Graham

Do Not Go There!

Do Not Land There, it is a very dangerous place.

Can't see any runway on google maps

decent facilities. Has a landing fee.

Friendly people, nice runways, lots of cool kit built aircraft and projects going on.

Awesome views, good day trip. There's a bunch of cafe's overlooking the reef and ocean 10mins walk north of the airport (sealed road). If you keep an eye out on takeoff or landing there's also a surprise in one of the forests - see if you can spot it.

Remember circuits are RH on 09 (all are to the south to avoid overflying the settlement) check the ERSA it has full details. https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/aip.asp

re: Mrs Smith is not a pom!
Anonymous flyer on Aldinga Airport view thread | reply
 

Nobody ever accused her of being a POM. Just acting like a toffee nosed POM who thinks that she is Gods gift to the Australian Aviation Industry. WRONG.

Can she fly? Does she have a pilots license? Or is she a self appointed Industry watchdog? And then if so, by whose authority and who has appointed both her and her POM Husband to police the local flying and other distant communities?

Pray for the day when some real down to earth proper aviators return to run the airfield.

How many of us would be more than happy to frequently fly in for a visit?
