To hear three FTA aircraft trying to separate themselves coming in to Waikerie or Renmark is just a joke. “ I’m here,where are you” ,time after time. It’s their personal chat channel.
Em nau!

I have experienced the above mentioned more than once. A Gliding Club Instructor (with no power experience) was once heard, upon hearing an exchange similar to the above quote to comment along the lines of....

"FFS you blokes! Try looking out of the cockpit and bloody well STFU!"

For the record; That particular Gliding Instructor has well over 4,000 Gliding hours and regularly flew Gliders at this airfield back in the days of radio in very few gliders and there being a GA Flying School in residence. And the Gliders that had radio were limited to the Gliding frequencies.
