Name one RFDS base that would send you out to a 900M strip lit by six kero cans.The minimums for an RFDS strip are far more than most GA strips and the lighting is never six kero cans, I can assure you. I live in the bush and have seen what the RFDS require before they will go there. Mate, your living in the looooong gone past.
I must be getting old then?? when based in a QLD community, i put out the little battery operated rwy lights for the cairns based rfds, on a strip that wasn't quite 900m and had big Fu#kn trees at one end. The main strip was being sealed!! I must admit that there was more than six lights but not many more. It was about 11pm and had been raining, and they came in to pick up a pregnant lady that was having difficulties, i must say i was very impressed.
