Aldinga Airfield
Have not looked at this site for a while but pleased to see that finally some are waking up to what Aldinga and the operators of the flying school are actually like..
Not all nice coffee and cakes, in fact, from an aviators point of view who have flown in there for many past years, its gone to the dogs with shocking circuit procedures and running the risk of been abused.
Avgas is about 18 cents more per liter than some other airports who PAY DELIVERY for their avgas.
I make a point of never calling in there for fuel or for any other reason any more unless there is something on at the Aero Club or similar. The Good Ole Boys.
And yes. The low time inexperienced instructors sit on the veranda with their coffees and criticize the landings and take offs of others.
But they will suck in the inexperienced thru their fancy social networking and sadly teach the students their ways.
It is also interesting to note that the operators, nor their students etc are made very welcome around various aviation venues in S.A. Seems that the aviation fraternity have woken up to them. And remember, that some have been around for some time and are highly qualified and respected.
Funny thing. We Australians will always, well at the best of times, extend our hands in friendship to newcomers. But beware when these newcomers bite our hands.
