Melbourne & Avalon - once in a lifetime...
|
Purely saddens me those pictures. Like many airports around with ramps, taxiways and all areas filled with birds with their wings clipped.
Lets all hope for a solution sooner rather than later. Stay strong fellow aviators. |
And the fact that. you have to wait a pandemic. to make this flight says volumes.
BTW, weren’t you breaking the law by making this flight at all? Which of. the four reasons covers your action? |

Can someone more enlightened in the art of medium term aircraft storage explain the reasoning for the slight angle of all the aircraft on the taxiway at AV?

Security runs and aircraft access from time to time. |
Thanks for the images, SQWK. Hopefully, never again.

They tell me that you normally park on an angle so you can fit them closer together, however it hasn’t been executed properly at Avalon because the taxiway isn’t wide enough so they can’t angle them enough.

"We've got the launch directive! VH-ABC's first!"
"Sorry boss, ABC's in the middle...". :} :ouch: |
Hang on hang on hang on........
Taking pictures from an aircraft :)... Hope it was an AOC certified flight! Yes extreme pisstake! Still great pics yet as I said very saddening.............. |
A PA28 from Bankstown did a touch & go at Sydney Airport a couple of days ago. I had previously suggested it to a mate, but he says it wasn’t him!
|
Any photos of where they are stored elsewhere in Aus

Ok I’ll bite.... why do you have to wait for a pandemic to make this flight, I don’t get it? One is class E and the other is class C, is there something I don’t know about? It’s not exactly Area 51.

Good luck getting over top of Melbourne during the day in normal operations and I say this as an ex-survey Pilot who has literally been laughed at whilst trying to get permission to do this sort of thing. Good time to get out and do some interesting stuff you wouldn't normally be able to due to traffic, I hear Survey at the moment is going nuts trying to make the most of it.

That Avalon picture... like any CAVOK day at the holding point at Moorabbin.

Hi Squawk, i didnt think they would give you your licence back so quickly, you have to be happy with that !

Global Av...Not only an AOC but a CPL as well !
|
At that angle they havent gained much more space that if they were in line, and you certainly wouldnt do an engine run at all, imagine the FOD damage. But i suspect its due to APU, you wouldnt want the exhaust right on the nose of the next a/c.
|
Wonder how we'd go here with something like this?
Low approaches at Newark, La Guardia and Kennedy in RV-8 in one go! |

I’m going to guess and say that it’s because they can taxi them off without using a tug and not sandblast the windscreen of the one behind.... by using right hand engine. I’ll be interested to see if I guessed correctly.
