Jabiru Phil Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Landed at Penfield, caught the train to Southern Cross for a football match last year. Need to phone the CFI for permission and fuel Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreywh Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Penfield sounds the best, but you got to get to the closest town for a train. ............. Tyabb is on a train line to Melbourne but it will be a good 75 mins to the CBD. Unfortunately there a NO RAA type airports close to the CBD for obvious reasons. It's always going to be more than an hour away............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
