alexf Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 It's fun to try to find some of the unlisted airfields in Australia. This is Plan-G showing a plan from Coffs Harbour north to Toumbaal, Palmer Island Field and Baryuilgil It would be too long for the Cub so I went in the faster Mentor which I hadn't flown in months. Took off from Coffs Harbour and it was an easy flight to Toumbaal on the coast. Catching some fresh air near Toumbaal Taxing at Toumbaal found some cows and 'roos. Flyby over Palmer Island field Near Broadwater lake en route to Baryuilgil Baryuilgil is tough to find. Long flight with few landmarks. I did the whole flight VFR with dead reckoning. Not easy on this leg. If you get to the river, you passed it. Finally Baryuilgil visible under the left wing Short final It was an enjoyable flight. Hope you liked.

markwlee Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looked like fun, Alex. The fields (after Coffs) are actually OZx and Ant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sos Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'm glad you found Baryuilgil ... I never did in my RL Unrestricted Pilot's License test ... but I managed to get my gong anyway. Did all my training at Coffs ... mainly in C150 ... VH-DDQ ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish42 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just a comment Alex,.............maybe a "Caution" The first time I opened the canopy during flight in a T-34 I had every map and scrap of paper that was not tied down sucked out of the airplane. At the time, I was acting as a radio relay for a CAP ground team that was trying to get to an aircraft accident in southeastern Ohio. (USA) Virtually all of Ohio had a 4000 ft overcast and I really needed those maps for VOR radio freqs, etc.. (No gps way back then.......) So for the rest of the afternoon, when headquarters wanted to know where I was,.............well it was "Somewhere over Ohio". Boy, that really pi$%^d off the mission commander. So, if you want to open that canopy, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sit on the maps. :o Kingfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
