1st to get it

Back in the 70's Somersby near Gosford was the go.
Richmond no chance imho.

As for argument of those living under the flt path curfews etc.Who would have bough thtere IF there were no curfews? How many bought on the firm commitment that the curfews would stay in place?

We are fortunate to have an airport so close to the city centre so compromises are necessary for a civilised society imho.

While the curfews do cause some problems movement restrictions , lack of 1st class ATC gear ie cat 3 capable and lack of ATC staff I believe to cause more problems.

If a new airport were to be built it prob needs to be in the north maybe Newcastle way.If they want it.
Last thing western Sydney needs is more development and a major airport.
