Funny how since they've been told that to use the unsafe airspace argument could be considered actionable by the agencies responsible for such things, they seem to have backpedalled on that pretty rapidly.

Yesterday at a meeting these same gents VderW and King denied that they had ever said there was an airspace safety issue. They were also unable to remember the name of thier "Aviation Consultatnt" who advised them on the piece of nonsense they were touting around as as brieifing document full of reasons to move Jandakot.

This is a BIG issue and lots of info to come on what has been going on behind the scenes. Danny please dont close this down, it is more important than you may realise and very relevant to professional pilots.

These Ascot people are going around telling people they are "The Owners of Jandakot Airport". They dont seem to realise they have a statutory obligation to use the site as an airport, or that the airport lessee-company should have running the airport as its sole business.

The tenants deserve "quiet enjoyment" of thier leases. These guys have come out of nowhere and turned our world upside down, and now say it is up to us to prove the airport should stay. NOT ONE of them has ANY background in aviation, (and the airport is currently without an airport manager ). Then they accuse us of being "Aggressive" when we stand up and tell the truth to defend our livlihoods.

As for the A380...read this http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:...u&ct=clnk&cd=3
