Thorny, I asked a few punters I know about the issue with the Emerald airport cross runway. They reckon the runway is fine, so WTF? They also reckon the last airport manager before leaving secured around $2.5m to fix up and widen the GA apron (a rare event indeed, where GA is promoted) with a bunch of that money being federally funded. So it begs the question - why shmick up the GA area yet shut down the cross runway and a small taxiway that feeds the GA area?? Has the new management lost its marbles or been influenced by Dr Voodoo?
