The Oaks Airport was built specifically and as a direct result of WW2, for use as a training and dispersal aerodrome. Of course, Sydney, Bankstown and Camden existed prior to WW2 and were used during the war.
Of all the aerodromes built around Sydney directly as a result of WW2 activities and needs in those dark days, The Oaks Airport is the last one left.
We need your help and support, not a hand to close us down.
All Pilots need to be mindful of the special responsibilities we have as "custodians of the air" and not be a party to attempts to close or wreck any aspect of Aviation, but to encourage and grow it.
I have never run for Council and can't work out where you are headed and why.
My aim here is to seek and enlist help and support in fighting a powerful campaign to erect a Communications Tower, to make profits for a Telco, that is an obvious threat to Air Safety and an Aerodrome that is part of Australia's fast disappearing aviation heritage, where I ran a Flying School over 3 decades.
