I'm with Dick on this one.
I fly gliders in Qld occasionally and it is just stupid the way Oakey operates, restricting gliders and lighties flying through it's airspace.
They are training helicopter pilots for goodness sake, why do they need ANY airspace over 1000' on a VMC day? They are s£$%scared of a few gliders doing <100kts flying over but may be dodging Afgan ground fire in a few months!
Look out the f%$%$ng window!!
Amberly and Richmond are basket cases of airspace, Richmond costs all of us tens of millions of $ per year in extra track miles into SYD. I guess Willy is the same.
