tim_A Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 The map shows the whole of Leg 36 from Forster (see part 'a'). This part covers the last 6 miles from Old Bar to Taree. [img width=1160 height=361]http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/8044/ta1271.jpg Old Bar is at the mouth of the Manning Estuary, which is the mouth of the Manning river, which is in the Manning Valley...

This is another one of those 'nice find' airfields, with lots of little details wherever you look; well worth a visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan2 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Great for the armchair traveller . Is the photoreal part of the Ozx packages ? ...not done these airfields yet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hall Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 great photos Tim, a beautifull area to fly in, you can thank Butch our photoshop master for his enhancing of the photoreal runway, great to see these strips get some screenie time. BTW my 1st real nav exercise was from Warnervale to Taree, coastal, with williamtown permission, and we returned via the Glouster valley laneway, restricted to 1000, and 1500 ft to avoid the F18,s practising, Mark over at OZx was in the process of doing the towns and small strips of that Valley, Took 4 hours return in a skyfox cruising at 60knts cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_A Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Excellent - thanks for the RW context Ken, that really helps bring the scenery to life I noticed the airspace that follows the road from Gloucester to Maitland, but FS only shows it as "Williamtown Danger Area", sfc-1500' & sfc-1000'. I guessed it was some kind of FJ lane, but not knowing the context... @Alan: Yes, the photoreal is part of the OZx package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
