It's a bit strange really, but the wealthy fella told me in a meeting once that he doesn't begrudge any of the considerable amount of avcharges he pays every year.

I've heard a rumour he don't hold an IFR rating, but enjoys the concept so much he frequently has a flying buddy when he wishes to do so. It is fair enuf also if a bloke experiences relative freedom flying in the US and forms the resolve to do the same here. Where he falls in the mud is he seems to think he is the ultimate architect of how this could be implemented, and anybody who may have an opinion on the subject is somebody opposing the brave new world of flying niceness.

I believe he is genuinely attempting to nurture the Australian aviation industry (from B747's to KLAX down to Cri-Cri's doing circuits in Sh1thole North) by reforming the airspace, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You got it wrong Dick.

Haven't seen much comment on this forum about Project Rollback yet.
