| 1312266 | 2012-11-14 20:27:00 | I seem to remember reading that it was to be at Ardmore. rnzaf.proboards.com It it's at Dairy flat then it's only going to be small planes.(Does it even have a sealed runway?) pity as we've changed some schedules to go to this but now I may not even bother.. |

| 1312268 | 2012-11-14 20:39:00 | An empty DC3 can get in and out of Dairy Flat and that's about it. From thread in link of my previous post. :) |

| 1312270 | 2012-11-14 21:02:00 | I flew into Dairy Flat once, the circuit direction in VFG was one way and planes were coming in the other way. Called on unattended and they said locals came in this way but visitors came in other circuit direction. Same at Te Kowhai the boss would come out and say fly right hand circuits today a neighbour over there is complaining about the noise. Of you go but visitors are coming in in the other direction. Whenuapai was a worry to they said you shouldn't join overhead when parachuting was taking place and if you joined down wind the ****ing chute planes would cut you off in their spiral show off descending dives to join. Seems today its sorted out CAA vector article lately said fly left always unless a real good reason. Sometimes I think I am lucky to be alive especially the first time I landed in Ardmore with about 8 planes in the circuit. |

So you're the guy who did that standard circuit rejoin and cut into the middle of the downwind leg scattering about 3 other aircraft in all directions :D |

| 1312272 | 2012-11-14 21:13:00 | 8 planes at in the circuit at Ardmore meant it was night in the 60's - 70's. Blow the Vector articles, sometimes you have to just straighten up and fly right. |

| 1312273 | 2012-11-14 21:17:00 | One of them in the circuit was Paul Holmes heap of **** biplane. I had a microlight and the circuit height for them was 500 ft so you had faster planes overtaking you in the circuit above you. I can remember heart beating pretty fast sometimes when plane said it would be somewhere on the circuit and you couldn't see it. |

Especially if it was Paul H in the same circuit. Paul H - the same intrepid aviator who went for a joyride through the Wellington Control Zone without ATC permission, and on occasion beat up the Warbirds hangar at Ardmore ... :D |
