Tell me the last move at YWLM related to an Operation in the last 50 years,
Not much of an operation but, APEC operation.
ASA are far more flexible and willing to provide a service at short notice for non-scheduled moves. They'll just bill you for it.
However ASA have been more flexible than the RAAF.
They had 12 months to fix the problem over Xmas and couldn't pull it off. RAAF called in with 1 days notice to fill the void. Now who do you think has flexibility??
move the guys to other bases so that they can man for operational moves such as those performed by the AP-3C's.
Good plan. Move controllers to Edn where the 2 or 3 P3's take off and return 10 hours later (cleared for takeoff, cleared to land). Plenty of training value there. How about move ASA, APS to Edn, Ric, ESL and keep the RAAF controllers at Willytown. Would allow more hours of operations at Willy, good for Units and good for Civvies. P3 and Herc Ops are much more similar to Civvie Ops than Hornet, Hawk and FAC Ops.
(sometimes you have to accept higher risk in ADF [obviously])) for operational purposes
What would be the legal implications of ASA, ASP clearing an 8 ship to land with 4-5 jets on the runway at once and something going wrong.
(Mind you - as if they'd let you interrupt their Friday 3pm BBQ and drinks).
Now you are just making your self sound stupid. 2 years spent flying there and not once did i knock off before 4 on a friday. Pull your head in.
