He is probably a cow cocky that may not know much better - thats how close he flys his circuits on his own strips.
YLRE can be an interesting place to fly in and out of, because you get the RPT guys mixing it with the cockys that only fly into a CTAF once every year to get their periodic done. Throw the odd other lightie (like FTDK) and an RFDS Kingair at the same time and the poor old cow cocky just about craps himself.
There is one guy that comes into town (not YLRE) every year for his annual and he comes up on the twr freq something like this;
"Um gidday fellas, its me and I'm coming in from the west and I'll be there about 10 o'clock."
... and thats about all you hear from him.
So the poor bloke or sheila in the twr scrambles to separate traffic from him.
They might give him instructions to "report joining left base for RWY 15" and his reply is "Yeah righto, I'll just use this one here" and then he lands straight in on 04.
