with the imminent closure of YHOX, and runway 18/36 at YSBK now soon to be a shopping centre, what will happens on days like the last 2 days in syd with 20 to 40 kt southerlies blowing?? i cant image all those bank runners and private aircraft diverting to YSSY!!
its tempting to put the research into a busines plan, enquire about leasing the land reserved for Badgerys creek airport, (think about it senator, i build the airport at badgerys creek, the publics sees it as a private enterprise, you dont loose votes at the next election over it, and in 10-20 yrs time, you buy me out for (insert $$ figure here) and take over control of the airport as originally planned. now just sign here senator)
develop a competing airfield to ysbk, and send the proposal to Mr Branson...for a bit of financial support, Im sure Wollongong council know of a few ways to get a runway built on the cheap!
