1 COMMENT

  1. Given the attitude of pilots on the mid north coast (NSW), i’m not surprised that this list is not longer. Inexperienced trainees, Low altitude flying and looping, weird joy flights – seems to be a sport now and nobody seems to care… I call them tree skimmers (less than 50m above ground in one case) one day it will go pear shaped… (no recovery here) oh wait, another investigation into pilot recklessness after it is too late…

    WAKE UP – MNC Pilots wake up if you are reading this…

    Question: Does any pilot have any concern about the impact they are making on the ground???
