Flew down West Coast Hwy this arvo, possibly tracking a land-based vehicle of the wheeled type. According to analogue Ch 13: "Sshshshshshsh"

JJ - just out of curiosity - How do you know the exact altitude was 3,000ft?? - the second one yep i understand - thats the lowest altitude for NVFR (Night Flying) - but where do you get 3,000ft from???

Maybe PA instructed 61 to hold its ground at 3000 due to other traffic??

I have to wonder though, without getting into a large political debate... who is footing the bill for all these resources?
The airport was effectively shutdown, her entourage to UWA shut down roads. Today, her trip to Mercedes shuts down the CBD... this is all money.
Is Rice paying for this or are the WA taxpayers again footing the bill so Carpenter and his useless cronies can get all warm and fuzzy?
Totally ridiculous... and ENTIRELY unneccesary.

I was at the international airport and my scanner was tuned to all aircraft arrivals and Tower, Polair was instructed on departure from Jandakot to track to the City at no less than 2000 feet, then told to track by the Tower to 3000 ft over the Control Tower, staying west of Runway 21 and south of Runway 24,..
