today turned into a quite interesting day, first off, 10 am, only aircraft in the circuit for an entire 40 mins!! on a sunday, CAVOK VRb wind day. in my 19 yrs flying at bankstown, only at night have i been alone in the circuit. but today at 10 am! where did everyone go?
then after lunch,
while taxing for YBTH, aircraft reported inbound with Low fuel?
2 mins later, chopper reported inbound, again, Low fuel
both made it down safely.
just as i was taxiing to the carpark (airplane park?) at the 29R holding point, a nice white seminole made a perfect approach and landing on 29L.. all 3 down. i watched as after touchdown,the nosewheel slowly folded back into the nose, followed shortly by dust and concrete debris and a very rapid stop with the nose on the deck and some not so straight looking props.
all ok.
then the usual hilarity ensued, aircraft not observing the instruction to ALL STATIONS STOP TAXIING IMMEDIATELY. from the usual suspects.
all in all, and unusually interesting day.
