Guest Kevin the Penniless Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 There is nearly always a bunch of us chin wagging in the clubrooms on a Saturday and Wednesday. As these are mainly training days at Gawler us 'licenced folk' sit and judge/talk about others etc over coffee, cake. I'll probably be seen at Renmark from time to time as I have caught up with an old friend that lives close by and I have promised to make a flying visit.

maddogmorgan Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Why not just call them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-the-Pilot Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Why don't you pick up the 'phone and call CASA to see if the airport is operational???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wags Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Wouldn't call CASA as it is not their responsibility to keep airports open and/or report defects... I'd be calling the operator - that should be the local Council. Or phone AWIS on 07 4155 1858 and it might contain relevant info. The river is a long way from the airfield however... good luck.

jcamp Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 From memory at bit of a climb from motel to airport. Waving cursor around on google earth shows airport at 90 - 115 ft, fields by river at 15 - 30 ft and town at 40 - 60 ft. Google probably gets it elevation from something like the 3 second DEM laser and interpolates so town part may show higher with rooftops, waving around the YMML terminal will show this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 For Bundy or anywhere else info go to Airservices site and look at the Notams. Currently the bitumen runway at Bundy is available, so Jabiru factory will not be flooded. Rocky is closed except to emergency traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
