Warnervale, Wallsend

[Ultralights]

Gday, this friday we have a need to get to Toronto, first question, what is the possibility to fly into Wallsend or Warnervale and parking for the day? and the ease of getting a Taxi from each location?

Hi

 

Wallsair is a private strip ( syndicate of some sort) that can be very wet. Has a gate on the entrance and while the operators there are nice friendly guys, they do not like lots of traffic as the spot is very neighbourly sensitive, with a residential suburb adjoining very close, and sensibly they do not want to create more issues than necessary.

 

There is often people at the site.

 

Having said that, request permission and you may well receive it.

 

Circuits are to the east ( away from the houses) , calls are expected as it is under the route used by the Westpac helicopter to the John Hunter Hospital.

 

Airborne do some flight testing and have a hanger there, so they may be a point to start contact for permission.

 

Taxi shouldn't be a problem.

 

Failing that, there is also Cessnock probably next best.

 

Someone on a thread here recently got permission to stop at Areopelican ?? may be an option

 

If you work out how - I'd be interested

 

A quick google says

 

Wallsend 15km

 

Cessnock 37km

 

Warnervale 42km

 

Swansea ( areopelican) 26km
