Yes Fanelli - give it a rest, you're issue is boring.

Went to Pt Cook not long ago and loved the museum. It was excellent.

As soon as the aircraft can come in from outside that will be great.

How about opening up the North-Eastern side of the field to civilian operators for hangar construction etc (to enable private owners to escape pricey Moorabbin) and thus allow more $ to flow in to keeping-up the Museum? And what about a small seaplane facility on the Eastern shores of Pt Cook airfield?

Whilst the encroaching housing could be an issue, overwater arrivals and departures would help mitigate this. Pt Cook could be an exciting airfield if a little imagination was used.

Renovating the ex-officers quarters for use by Airline cadets might be a worthwhile excercise too. They could then train entirely at Pt Cook at an integrated facility.
