But 'back in the day' you had to flightplan everything, didn't you?

Well before my time, but my mate's old man had a PPL back in the 70s, and he tells me his dad had to lodge a flightplan to ferry planes from Schoies back to Bankstown every weekend. His old man has past away so I couldn't ask him, but a flightplan for such a short flight seems overkill these days.

On the otherhand, GA was more vibrant then than now... who knows?
