howdie champ,

myself and a bunch of mates did an interstate trip in a C210 flying into EN.

I rang the tower the day before to see if there was anything we needed to know and also indeed to find out if we were welcomed. The controller was very nice and at the end of the phone call said 'Welcome to Melbourne'

Upon arriving to EN it was very terrible weather, alot of heavy rain and associated cloud. We arrived in over the West Gate Bridge and he could see our landing light from miles away. "Alpha Bravo Charlie, just turn right slightly, that will set you up on downwind"...... A very helpful bunch.

Enjoy
