Last I looked, Bibra Lake (Adventure World) is SOUTH of Freo?
That picture is definately of Fremantle Port. I was always of the impression tracking into Jandakot from the North was via the power station to the south of Freo.
it actually said during the flight that CWS was a C-47 that was converted
Indeed it used to be a C-47, however it was converted by QF. The other two A/C flying in Australia have not been converted - i.e they don't have the overhead bins etc. Therefore, this makes her the last DC-3 flying in Australia
My bad on th initial statement! It was late last night, and now it's early this morning
Fremantle Shipyards, our entry point into the Jandakot Controll Zone
With all due respect - The picture you quoted the above - IS NOT Shipyards to which we use to approach Jandakot according to the lastest GAAP procedures for Jandakot.
Ship Yards is located to the West of Adventure World way before Fremantle. It is the only entry point from the West that you can track inbound to Jandakot - unless your from the city and using Mt.Henry Bridge as a Visual Reference.
I know this, because I have flown/fly this route many times...
G
I'll pay that
i did infact think it was fremantle that was used, becuase the pilot called shipyards when we were over fremantle... but i have only come in over the Powerhouse and Six South when flying myself

Constablecare , Although your comments have been moderated it is quite obvious that my post upset you a little bit. It seems it may have been a poor choice of wording on my part as it was not my intention to imply that the company itself had failed or that there was a lack of interest. I am quite aware of the beaureucratic nightmare that the owners faced to get up and running. I guess what I am trying to say is that I think it is a shame that operations had to cease and I wish the guys all the best. I apologise if you interpreted it any other way. You are quite right to pull me up on who is the registered owner of CWS as I was making comment based on something a mate had told me (That Robbie P had bought the aircraft) which I now know to be incorrect as he is only the registered operator and not the owner.
Can i just say that the pics were amazing and that is truely a beautiful aircraft! what was the deal with 'Classic Wings'? Were you able to go for a 'joyflight' or something? I wish i had heard of this before as i would have LOVED to have seen/flown in that aircraft!
Cheers!
