Victoria airport comments

probably the most small minded arrogant fools I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

Very dangerous place to fly due to the ultralights without radio doing as they please, and the idiots based there that think they are gods gift to aviation and hang around in small groups insulting pilots. Normally found in the bar flying....... because they can't in real life.

Don't bother stopping there unless you want to be insulted by fools.

The runways are very easy to land on and there isn't has much traffic.

I have my doubts about several of the airports that came from that particular user. I've got 529 Australian airports from him, so I'm reluctant to delete them all, but I'm also reluctant to verify them all.

I agree -- I can find no evidence anywhere that this airport exists. It came in some user-supplied data from navaid.com, but I'll probably delete it unless someone has a better source.

So where is it? The coordinates seem to put me into a hillside of trees.

I can't seem to locate the airstrip in the surrounding area even though Google Earth is high definition.

a very dangerous place for joyflights never go there

Or at least something to look forward to !

Every year Phillip Island is home to the Australian Moto Grand Prix. In October 2004 I rode there with a mate all the way down from Sydney to attend the Grand Prix and witness Valentino Rossi historic win on the Yamaha, claiming back-to-back championships on two differents bikes (he won the 2003 championship on a Honda).

It's a very scenic but also a very long way from Sydney (we got there via Princes Hwy, and back via the Great Alpine Road which caused some overenthusiastic riding and subsequently claimed the life of a soft-compound rear tyre).

I sold my bike 2 years ago and when I resumed flying, I made it an objective to get my PPL in time for the 2007 MotoGP in order to fly there (safely). I am not flying often enough to reach that objective though.

Still, am going this year, flying commercial via Melbourne, and will fly there as a PPL pilot in 2008 (hopefully)

A really friendly airport.

Interesting weather in winter.

Back in the 60's this was the busiest airport in the southern hemisphere (by aircraft movements - most were training flights). Much quieter these days.

The best city in Victoria in winter.

The GA-8 Airvan and GA-200 Fatman were developed here.

Birthplace of Ansett Airlines.

Very historic town. Visit the paddlesteamers.

Former WWII training airfield.

A real shame that the Airworld museum closed down.

Very handy for bizjets.

A handy alternate to Melbourne.

Flew here with a GOANA air safari trip in 02 - each couple flew their own Cessna 172. Very picturesque little rural Australian town. Spent time walking around the old part of town and had supper on a riverboat - we were told that all towns in Australia are like this :P
