Apparently up here the local cops had bee trying to find out about some night vision goggled ops in and out of YCAB at night.
No lights on the a/c or the airfield.
Some of these guys are well kitted out it seems. Until they hit a kangaroo on the strip.
Why would you bother going to all that sort of clandestine cr@p?
Who cares about a VFR PA23 taking off in the middle of the day and heading west to who-knows-where? With a black overnight bag no less?
Like robbing a house - snooping around at 2 am looks decidedly dodgy. Pulling up in a tradies van in broad daylight, climbing a ladder and pulling tiles off the roof wouldn't get a second glance.
Security my @ss. Definitely a tipoff.
