Charleville Airport
I was passing through Charleville earlier this week and would just like to mention that it was a pleasure to have stopped their.
A lovely gentleman at the south west air base told me the wind direction when I was inbound, he waved me in to the fuel bowser, grabbed my Carnet and did the fuel, assisted us in getting a lift in to town and accommodation, all of which I was very thankful for, especially after an eight hour flight.
Also the facilities there were very impressive, grass nicely mowed, clean, no rubbish, well presented club house with a nice cafe and decked area, and the free internet and printing services was wonderful.
For those of you who have been there I am sure you feel the same way, It is the best Regional Airfield in terms of facilities and services I have been to.
And for those of you who haven't been that way, I would suggest a stop, even if it is only for a cuppa.
Anyway just my opinion. Thanks YBCV for the experience!!

Yep!
And most likely the guy is the infamous ppruner who has a name related to his C185
. Top Bloke too!
I found exactly that service long before I knew him on pprune.....now I expect to pump my own gas!
Coupla top ppruners from YBCV actually..... looking forward to a cold one in a few weeks with them!

The 'bloke' was also only too happy to organise transport for me and a few other pilots when we stopped by YBCV last year.
If only there were more airports with this sort of set up and friendliness.
I'm just sorry I can't remember his name.

I have been a regular to YBCV, and must agree, they have been like that for as long as I have been going there! Very helpful bunch and the A/C'd shop/clubhouse is the most welcome building on a hot QLD day!
DF,
currently holed up in YPAG awaiting arrival of 35/45 knot winds after passage of cold front.
The roo survey has been very smooth flying up to date, which is unusual for SA.
As Wadey says, thanks for the kind words about YBCV.
