With all due respect sarge, I've flown at Tyagarah for 18 years and continue to do so, have spent a couple of years living on site and operated my Tiger there commercially for 6 years. I've been an instructor, a skydiver and charter pilot. Sometimes skydive moves their op to Ballina when its wet, and Council allowed them to take off empty to relocate even though the strip was closed, a fair compromise. They have since started abusing that privilege by taking off on a wet strip with a full load, then by just operating normally at Tyagarah when its closed, with a "Fcuk you" attitude to other users. The damage is done by the 208, fact. You don't want to hear that from me, ask any other user. I can refer you to the Gliding Club, The current DH82 operator, the helo owner, the ultralight pilots etc etc.
