Oban Follies

I suspect the 400 flights are probably somewhat exaggerated
And I suspect that is somewhat of an understatment!

How come there was no previous mention of this 'fact' until the firecrew's jobs were in jeopardy?

And I don't suppose closing the airport at 17.00 so that they could bugger off home would affect traffic numbers, would it?

By my counting the 90 days notice is over, anyone know what happened?

Trying to work out what this means. Suggestion is that it's only available to scheduled traffic Tuesday and Thursday?

That's probably why I have had no reply to my out of hours application.

That did have me wondering too, but the quoted NOTAM is incorrect, it should actually read...

AD SUMMER OPR HOURS CHANGE TO READ:
0720-1615 AND BY ARRANGEMENT WITH THE AD OPR (ARGYLL AND BUTE
COUNCIL C/O OBAN AIRPORT)
TUE AND THU 0700-0720 FOR SCHEDULED MOVEMENTS ONLY
AD 2 EGEO-1-1 PARA 2.3 REFERS
So, Oban is open daily 0720-1615 but opens 20 minutes earlier on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but only for scheduled movements.

I must complain that I am most grossly and offensively disappointed. Here I was thinking that this thread had disappeared off the face of the Earth, and lo to my joy here it has re-appeared as some sort of Easter resurrection, and yet to my bitter disappointment no humour nor banter exists, merely sensible conversation. What's going on? One is not amused.

Oban Humour & Banter

Smiffy,

Bob asked for the Oban latest and I point out that system has no metar for Oban.

If that's not humour then I don't know what is! If I had phoned Oban and posted the actual from them, would you have thought that was funny? I'm doing my best here.

Maybe that's because what is happening to Oban is just not that amusing?

Today, as usual, everyone at Oban was very friendly and helpful. It was busier than Inverness during the time I was there.(Aircraft movements of course, not pax) It cannot be pleasant for all the guys working on a presumably day to day basis after getting their notice in December.

Wow

I am semi interested to know what all of this is about but don't feel I have the strength to wade through all 45 pages to find out. That's as many hours to do the PPL!

Rumour has it there's a book soon to be published. You can make up your own ending, rather than wait for one.

With the forthcoming Scottish Elections, it would be a good question to put to any candidates that come calling at your door!

Is it just me? This thread reports one more page than there actually are (and has done for some weeks!) This is being posted onto what is currently page 46 but the thread says that there are 47 pages

Page numbers.

It's not just you.

This is a pprune issue that is caused by deleted posts. The system eventualy catches up but may go adrift again. There are other threads where this happens. Clicking on the last page number, when on what seems to be the penultimate page, takes you to the top of the current page.
