AVGAS in Blackall YBCK

Not in the ERSA but a credit card pump for Avgas and JetA has been installed and the price is not too bad compared to the coast!

Should be more of it!

It's only $300 when you own the plane, the rest is hidden from the wife

I bet that credit card machine doesn't swear as good as Bub does.

Devil

So the old saying I used to hear from the Queenslanders on the Seismic Crew years ago

`There`s feckall in Blackall`

is no longer applicable?

Good to read of the new installation considering the number of Airports where the Fuel companies have pulled out over the last few years.

Both you blokes need to find a new wife, or wait until you find the right woman to be your wife. I don't get any grief from mine for the money I spend on aviation. And I don't give her any grief for the money she spends on flying........hint.

Brilliant thread drift
Who would of thought from a new fuel bowser at Blackall we could arrive at such a valuable, easy to understand wife presentation. Can this guy explain second and third segment climbs in a PA30, say out of Armidale last Monday in the crap weather

I think it would be described as …don't fly, stay warm in bed with the 9-Hot/6-Crazy

No one - an absolute gem. The frightening part is that it's so true!
