Of zebras, horses and gnomes
Interesting piece by The Hitch that was picked up by the ever watchful P2;
"And another controversy is set to rise over non-controlled airports, generated by an ERSA entry for Mildura (YMIA) in Victoria. The entry says simply that balloons and aerobatics are banned within 5 nm of the airport. That has spawned the question of what head-of-power the airport operator has to issue operational directives that don't involve their airport".
That would be Bill 'garden gnome' Burke. He doesn't need any 'head of power'. Egotistical arrogant little man, it's always all about him. Control freak who doesn't like being told what to do. Unless the airport under the parent Council has some u-beaut set of local government laws it has ratified that gives them (and the airport) the level of power or authority over airspace and the airport itself which allows them to prevent ballooning and other activities within the 5nm I don't see how it can stack up or be allowed legally? Happy to stand corrected as this is a difficult area to navigate when it comes to local, state and federal laws. They all differ.
Either way, I would be interested in knowing the reason why the garden gnome is potentially preventing business opportunities that could benefit the local community?
