I didn't know, that the Busselton Jetty has got an underwater observatory at its end. This must be fairly new. I think there was none, when I have been there.

bernief Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi all. Here is an airport that is included in a region. Obviously it is a water runway attached to a land based airport. Cheers Bernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bernie Turning back to the first question asked... while you, Bernie, are based in Oz, I can not remember many seaplane bases there... Strahan and St. Helens look different, and Rose Bay even more. Too hard for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernief Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hi all. I think you need a hint. Yes I live in Australia but you need to think of where there are an awful lot of seaplanes. It is an Orbx region where they have water runways alongside land based airports. It might be a long way from Australia. Cheers Bernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Gerold I was getting worried for a while and getting another pic ready of The freeware 727 at ESSENDON - which is the Orbx one - little a little more posh than the old airport and still a very busy GA airport To those who don't know Australia - Essendon until 1971 was the 2nd principal airport in Australia with Sydney slightly bigger. Essendon was replaced by the new Tullamarine Airport - you know as Melbourne YMML - which opened in August 1971 and built with advanced planning - to take the new Jumbo 747s. The wife - myself - and 5 kids under 11 and 14 suitcases - arrived in the first week of The new shiny - 1 terminal airport as Immigrants -so the place holds fond memories - but I find it hard to find my way around these days - on the odd trip down South The 727 was the standard internal aircraft - used by the independent airline Ansett and by the government owned T.A.A.
