Airport of Intimidation
This "IS" unfortunately an airport that is surely very very confused regarding its obligations to the rate payers and visitors to the area.We no longer are prepared to use YYWG and now use corowa just to be safe and avoid the possibility of expensive litigation. One of our aero club members who was about to start training at yarrawonga has now begun training at YTOC. He also contacted the Miora Shire regarding this required written permit and was told he would not be issued with such.
I'm sure in time that the Shire will see the error of their way and amend this situation and re sign the airport.
We were also advised by the shire that the airport ARO was told by the authorities that he was not permitted to use his unregistered unroadworthy uninsured (due to no registration) quad bike on the grounds.
It really seems that perhaps a big broom needs to go through the whole management of this airport before its too late ??
