So true Pb Balloon
I was having this discussion with a couple of friends at Old Station recently, one friend now flies his twin comanche to events as it is direct and just as reliable (IFR) in getting there, and his crew bring the performance plane ahead of time. The other friend who has been in aviation a long time, thousands of hours, instructor owner of several planes and now works for CAsA was saying he can't take his own certified airworthy Cessna from YCAB to YOSN.
Seriously all three of us were comparing notes on time to site and so on.....it was a laugh, and the CASA guys were shrugging their shoulders and saying WTF as well.
Now I know in some cases this might be for the best, but not on this occassion.
I departed that evening and was back at YRED before 7pm and home by 7.30. Try doing that with RPT.
