I wonder if Ballarat City Council are ruing the decision to dig up their once 2000m runway?

Look at all those people by the fence excited to see a Dash 8. One that takes them to Sydney of all places too.

Will be interesting to see how they fit in with the annoying yellow perils that congregate in the circuit at BDG doing jet sized circuits at walking speed!
I never like going into BDG especially on a W/E! Interesting times ahead!

I hope the added attention to Flight Ops at YBDG. results in the " Short Term" parking in front of the Aero Club being enforced The sight of the supposed short termers occupying those slots continually for weeks/months on end is definitely NOT conducive for Itinerent. Visiting Aircraft

The only saving grace is QF will leave early & arrive late, most lighty's will still be under wraps:-) Up to $500 one way at times! Christ I'd want a LearJet for that!:-)
I've done 1000's of hrs driving high Perf Turbo props Single Pilot into CTAFr's & MBZ's etc in the good old days & most private bug smasher drivers where courteous, some however where a disaster waiting to happen! I had the misfortune of going into YPMQ the other week, it brought back home just how ignorant some training/Pvt drivers are!

One of my brothers worked on the business case for this. He works for regional development in Bendigo. It hadn't started 3 weeks ago when I last visited him from London......

Funny how a persons ‘aviation ability’ is judged by how you can land!
