Insider is Insightless
Insider, have you no insight? I wonder why I am bothering to respond to your inane ramblings. John Walters has cited the facts very clearly.
It will be a cold day in hell when Barwon Heads becomes a drop zone again. CASA has made it clear that the operation of skydiving is inapropriate at Barwon Heads.
Let's not forget that the operator in question has a long history of safety abuse and arrogance toward other airspace users and the authorities. The culture of foolishness that surrounds this operation has directly led to its demise.
The airspace users at Barwon Heads remain willing to accomodate skydiving on a designated and remote drop zone. The operator is free to operate from Barwon Heads now as long as the drop zone is establised remotely. Assistance has been offered (sincerely) to help establish an appropriate drop zone off the airfield environs but the operator is not interested.
Instead he pursues a futile legal case that is destined to fail. The only beneficiaries of this will be the legal council concerned. In the end the sensible thing to do would to drop the case and seek to establish an agreed cooperative approach to the problem. Perhaps the concept of KARMA should be considered. At the very least, clearly the venom that lies at the heart of this matter has poisoned the judgement of the protagonist.
Barwon Heads airport users as a group remain reasonable and honest people who are willing to accomodate others in a tolerant manner. The exception being to arrogant and foolish individuals who place lives at risk with a disregard to rules while seeking to empire build.
