      I have data for a GPS ‘ILS’ precision approach on runways 14/32 if you need them.

      Forgot to mention there is no Y designation and as its post 2000 not an ALA which is a last century thing. We call it Wombalong International Aerodrome, as we have had several foreign citizens flying from here.

      Apologies for the tardy reply, I've been dealing with a few unexpected heath issues with my parents who live on the north coast of NSW and it's a busy time for work.

      Good to see that you're giving Canberra Airport some competition. 😉

       

      I'd love to come out and have a look at some point and have a chat.

      The Defiant generally likes long and very flat pieces of ground to land on.

  2. Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me anything about currandooley airstrip and what's currently out there?

      G'day Ian, as you maybe aware, I sold my Thruster last year. It was based at Currandooley. Place is owned by the Osbourne family and I had a good relationship with Brian. He is now well into his 80's and has passed management to his son Luke who, unlike Brian, has no interest in aviation. I now fly with Tumut aero club which is as good an old country mob as you'll get. I think Currandooley air strip has a fairly short future. Shame because of the lack of suitable alternatives in the area. There is still aviation on the site, John Gough is a contact. He lives nearby in Wamboin. Cheers Don
