winsor68 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I believe Mason Field is the home of Southport Flying Club... I have visited a few times and it is a real Gem!!! BUT by invitation only from a member... it is the home base of the Gold Coasts wealthy and their toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andys@coffs Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 search for it on these forums, I asked about it here about 2yrs ago and got a complete set of rexponses that to me seemed to jell down to, if you need to ask how much then this is not the club for you..... EDIT: Just did what I suggested and that didnt work so well for me....found it eventually, try here http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/monto-2010-raaus-northern-flyin.11208/page-2#post-112415 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 mmm Mason field...I asked about membership and was told $20000 (yes that's right ) for full membership or $300 for a social membership for which they "might" tolerate 2-3 landings a year ,"but don't make a habit of it!!, They must be the wealthy light aeroplane owners that Qantas crapped on about in their submissions on ATC charges recently. I knew they had to be somewhere and now I know. kaz (who ain't been there and never gunna) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP503 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Land on the grass at Kooralbyn, bitumen runway is unserviceable. It is a ghost town these days, fences up around hangars. Something to do with council. Mason field is definitely on the other end of the spectrum, but is a private field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The hangar at Kooralbyn is up for lease, probably something to do with Peeps buying the Old resort.Thats all I know, my parents live at Kooralyn.I landed their about 2 months ago.No one around.Land on the grass beside the bitumen runway as Davey has mentioned.

Hi Dave, delivered my jab their to it's new owner there a mth ago, bitumen is no go with pot holes, there's a particularly nasty couple about touch down as well. Grass left to the east is best. I can put you in touch with with Reece and georGe their by pm if interested . This strip is not for low Hr inexperienced pilots as se turbulence and tight approach makes hard work. I believe the guys are trying to get it back to it's former state when Peter Reid taught there. I jumped there for many hrs and flew drifters etc. The tiger boys at boonah can give you the heads up on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
