  1. It seems that the office is now sending reminders that BFR or Medical are due in one month. That's really useful because it's so easy to lose track of time and BFR expired before realize it......
  2. I don't know what's happening for you. When I just click on the link it opens right at the Skyranger page.
  3. Gday, There are a couple of testimonials from Skyranger fliers here https://www.stolspeed.com/id/90 JG
  4. So that's stolspeed.com. Email stolspeed@gmail,com JG

    Kestrel ultralight wanted.

    Thanks for that tip. This for someone else and I've now sent the link to him. JG
  7. Seeking a Lea Kestrel ultralight. Trailable version preferred, maybe with trailer??

  9. Yes, just install Adblock. I've used it for years and it works really well. It's free but I give donations because it's so good.
  10. Would it make sense to widen the criteria to include on-field (or nearby) accommodation that you need to pay for. This map Airfields near Fuel, Pub and Food' pretty much does that already, l in that any pub will have accommodation or nearby. There is plenty of such accommodation available, which I do use sometimes when necessary. I'm seeking that free or near free really basic accommodation. Ideal would be an old caravan parked on the airfield. Just a dry bunk for overnight is all I seek. I realize all the restrictions on such, so I really applaud those airfields that find a way to do it anyhow.
  11. Well, this idea didn't go very far..... Airfields with Accommodation map. There must be more such accommodation on airfields, but I understand how users are reluctant to publicize them due to council's disapproval of such unapproved but so convenient accommodation..... Sad.....
  12. Cameron corner is already on the map of 'Airfields near Fuel, Pub and Food'.
  13. I prefer tawny port for company.
  14. I think it should open just when you click on the link. Have you tried it recently?? I can't test it because it recognizes my computer automatically....
  15. Oops, forgot to allow share. Fixed now.
  16. The map is looking useful already. Airfields with Accommodation But surely there must be plenty more........
  17. Thank you. That can be a savior for fliers who run into weather, better than trying to push thro.....
  18. Rylstone is a residential airpark, any more details?? I'm familiar with Boonah but don't know of any accommodation other than the hangar floor....
  19. Birdsville Pub $100+, not suitable for this list........
  20. With increasing age, setting up camp and sleeping on the ground isn't as easy as it used to be, and in the vent of wet weather it sucks.... There are several airfields that have basic accommodation on site. Coonamble, has a donga, South Grafton has a couple of bunks in the clubhouse, Broken Hill has similar, Yarram has similar very convenient for trips across the water. That's all I can think of right now but hopefully there are more. I reckon more airfields should make the effort to provide such a service. A disused donga is great, but even easier would be an old unregistered caravan. Nothing fancy, just a couple of dry bunks at the right price. Please add others that you know about. If there are enough I will draw up a Google Map to make flight planning and sleeping comfort easier.
  21. Yes that's a lot of fuel over a lot of flight time on long trips. Don't use a MrFunnel and never had dirty fuel from anywhere....
  22. Oops, hit the wrong button. Don't know how to change that....
  23. The scene today with Kilcoy airfield thro the smoke. All under control. From circuit height I could count 10 other fires all round. Lots of smoke.....
