Old Bar Heritage Airstrip

[Old Fella]

As one of a small group of volunteers who manage and maintain the Old Bar Heritage Airstrip, at our own cost, I am amazed at just how stupid, unsafe and selfish some in our aviation fraternity can be. During the past few weeks we have had almost 400 mm (16 inches) of rain fall on the Old Bar Airstrip.

Today, despite a large white cross being displayed in the middle of the runway some thoughtless, and obviously unsafe, pilot landed at and departed Old Bar Airstrip leaving deep wheel tracks for much of the length of the clay based grass runway.

If the guilty pilot happens to read this post I would like you to know that your actions were not appreciated and were irresponsible. Please, DON'T COME BACK. Go and bugger up your own paddock.
