Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2010 9:23 pmNope not me, was Victor Alpha Tango. Don't know why people bother landing at Thames, the landing fee is $40! Thats only $10 less than Auckland International!

that explains why they are more or less in the shiteSTINK
Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2010 10:56 pmYep shame about the incident and good to hear no one was hurt, but I couldn't stop myself laughing..
And yea I always did low approaches and overshoots when I went to Thames on my x/c's, like in winter that runway its a muddy bog and they charging $40 to land there!!?
Feel sorry for the pilot, overshooting a runway is one thing, but overshooting a runway and landing in poo is another lol

Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 9:07 amThe Thames landing fee is only $40 if you don't pay on the day - it's only $10 if you use the honesty box by the fuel pump.
