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! :ok:

Should be more of it! :D

Same setup is going to happen in Windorah soon, I have been reliably informed. Hope you and Mrs Jabba enjoyed the weekend!

I heard Bub Ploger has moved?

185skywagon 13th Jul 2015 01:45

Bub is in TWB, Tailly. Replaced by a credit card machine and isotainer type bowser.

Avgas172 13th Jul 2015 02:25

Will check it out this weekend, going for a $300 burger at Barky :ok:

Jabawocky 13th Jul 2015 06:19

Short trip from Emerald? :} (if its only $300)

Avgas172 13th Jul 2015 06:50

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

172R 13th Jul 2015 08:00

Long way to Barcy from emerald via Blackall! And... I wish I could hide the "real cost" from my wife!

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

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is no longer applicable?:}:E

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.

No One,

That video is GOLD.It is actually a presentation from "the name is porter" just in case you are wondering.

Avgas 172…..you must be fibbing :}

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 :}

megle2 15th Jul 2015 03:26

yes agree but I stumbled over the flight on Flightaware
maybe it was blue sky and the snow fell later

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