Heard this one recently, without doubt the dumbest thing I have heard from GA in while.
"Lets face it joining base may not be standard, but it makes perfect sense to avoid unneccessary turns and the inherent collision risk with 16 aircraft coming from the north to join a rwy 11 approach. At the end of the day this isnt Sydney, its the bush, and you cant follow everything u learnt in your big city flight schools with gold braid and unrealistic veiws on aviation."
