The East/West runway at YBRS is open only because a consortium of 20 pilots have purchased the McSkydive property to save the airport from becoming solely a skydive centre.

Now before you go looking for the pot of gold with this purchase there isn’t one.

The land cannot be subdivided as it is zoned rural under the State Government planning scheme and the farming return on 120 Acres would be two tenths of SFA.

These guys should be applauded not ridiculed for this action, as without this gutsy effort the airfield would have been lost for all time.
