Dulacca?...no , but...

In about 1971 the FTDK and I visited that strip as passengers...we had not yet commenced aviating [prob. in DDN]...

The owner of Dulacca West put on a 10 gal keg for Betty Windsor's birthday which six of us did our best to honour.....

Next day he went back to the strip and did his three circuits in the C172 for his 12 months "currency"....which was all that was required in those days apparently.

I distinctly remember he didn't even kick the tyres...[or walk around ,drain fuel, check oil]...just got in started up and flew three circuits.....

I suppose there are still a few people who do that....
