Howabout, Evilroy, amos2 and all your other pilots berating Dick's efforts: Question for you all:
What have you done to reform Aviation in Australia? Nothing no doubt, (just like me) yet you heap ****e on somone who has a go at making change.
Williamstown can be a bloody hassle to get through, struth, I once orbited at Nobbys because a bloody helicopter was about to take off up the beach somewhere. I can fly under Jumbos on Victor 1 without a clearance but not up the beach past Williamstown. Willy airspace is needlessly large and way over regulated. No doubt you blokes never fly it VFR so because you have no problem, there is no problem.
I commend you Dick and any thinking person can put two and two together and realise that MDX would have been safer VFR down the coast.
