Yarrawonga, Doesn't Want Visitors
It seems that the offending post has been removed. But that being said... this is a rumour network and if there's some truth in it, well perhaps it is valid that it stays there.
If there are in fact "Joy Flights" being advertised, then a clear breach of the regulations is taking place be it RA-Aus or HGFA registration. Aside from the allegations of night and formation flying, Joy Flights are a clear breach.

There are strong rumours of giving " TIF's " to tour buses. But I have never seen it first hand.
I did however watch with my own eyese 2 trikes doing low level formation flights slightly after published last light (but with some remaining visibility) over the runway in both directions - ie they were kind of flying a barbell pattern over the runway and a couple of the outlying hangars. From where I stood it looked like windsock height, but it was probably 50ft or so.
If it was GA the pilots would just about be locked up, but RA (Aus) seems to laugh it off.

If you have direct knowledge and believe an aviation safety incident has occurred you are captured by sections 18 and 19 of the Transport Safety Investigation Act and should do your duty
