Broome flying

Richard, you are another typical example of how fantastic folks are in WA, I spent 4 years in Newman and was amazed at the fantastic attitude and can do approach, I built he airstrip and hanges at the Capricorn Roadhouse. Welcome !

G'day Richard. Will be up in the Kimberley next month, but at the other end in Kununurra. Have got two weeks at the Sub Centre with St John Ambulance as a vollie Advanced Ambulance Care Officer. I have not ventured beyond Fitzroy Crossing, so am looking forward to some new experiences, though hopefully the ambulance ones are at the mundane end of the scale!!Have happy memories flying through Broome in 1976 when it had a permanent population of 1500, and if you wanted a drink you could chance your luck and try the Roebuck, or if you wanted to go a bit up market give the Conti a go . I have heard that things

 

have changed a bit since then.

 

Hi oh yes Broome has changed but not that much. Population is around 15000 and expands to 60000 in the tourist season .Head over there its well worth the effort

 

If you statrt a flight in Broome I imagine you would be happy to have the 160 Kts cruise that the Bonanza gives. What do you have to pay to put a litre of Avgas into her?

Richard:welcome: to the forums.......lovely to have you on board..............MMmmmmm Broome buzzin' in a Bonanza.......yes please ............Alley:babe: Fly and Keep Safe
