Guys, this is no laughing matter. I drove to the field last weekend and the only thing about Canungra "International" Airfield is that it is elusive in every way. Not only are the co-ords inaccurate and the east co-ord sports a "1" before the 127, someone needs to do a map view of the field with runways drawn in, taxiways, parking areas, runway directions. The runways are not accurately marked and I saw no windsock or runway markers. It is hilly terrain and short, ultralighters dream, inexperienced pilots nightmare.
[/rant-on]According to Aeroclub there is an inaugural fly-in at Canungra "International" Airfield on 29/11/2015. I wouldn't mind attending, however, getting location and airfield information has proved almost more difficult than it's worth. The notice of the event refers you to www.flightscopeaviation.com.au for more information. Ha! Like that helped! Some obscure text then refers you to a facebook page. Ok, so now I have a physical address and off to Google Maps I go...
Well that proved pointless with no strip at that address.
Come on guys, if you would like folks to attend at least provide co-ordinates, maybe add some approach information. I just can't be arsed anymore.
