New South Wales airport comments

It was a cold windy rainy day in the early 70's

I had never seen a Jumbo land but it was clear he was landing LONG!

So long he ran off end of runway and nearly got in a fight with airport fuel lines!

I think USA pilot was given a ticket home.

Anyone have any additional info or an old photo from Sydney herald.

PS now live in the land of Boeing namely Seattle.

This airport is not huge but does it's job. It has a very long runway for a regional city.

This airport is not very well planned because of how the terminals are to far apart, and airport is very close to the city which is good and bad.

Too many sausage factory air schools here

I live fairly close by, walking down the street to the beach I can see the main runway 34L which is reclaimed on Botany Bay, I drive next to it every morning going to work (actually, in the airport tunnel under the runways) and my job is so close to the airport that the building is shaking when heavies e.g 747 are on very short final on runway 25 - so close you can almost touch the aircraft !

We get to see some interesting aircrafts land there now and then. Indeed there were quite a few of us to watch the A380 land here for the first time almost two years ago.

The southern side of Camden is dedicated to gliders, so gotta be careful in joining the circuit here - circuit always on the northern side of the field, and there is no dead side to the circuit.

I am a student pilot at Schofields Flying Club based there

Great location.

Great citrus grown there.

The silver city.

Beware density altitude in summer.

Birthplace of Kendell Airlines.

Good spot.

On the beautiful Gold Coast.

Some great airshows there in years past.

Share the airspace with F/A-18's.

Birthplace of East-West Airlines.

Too cold in winter, too windy in summer.

A pity we never get to land into wind!

We landed here in 2002, during the bush fire season. There were brush fires burning West of the airstrip, and we flew long curving finals to avoid the smoke. We were grounded there for two days, IMC in smoke. Australia is a very interesting country! We used the time to go on a boat tour of the estuary, visit a Koala sanctuary and visit several pubs.

Landed here in 2002 as part of our GOANA Air Safari trip - then we flew up the coast past Sydney at 500 feet!

This is a very nice tourist stop - lovely beaches, great fish and chip shops too!

Flew here with a GOANA air safari trip in 02 - each couple flew their own Cessna 172. We were grounded here for 48 hours by a dust storm, and we had to do the wine tasting tour twice!
