Guys- I must be a different Caboolture I fly at every week!( since 2003!) I find the gliding club the complete opposite and apart from Radio- which is out of control with 3 training airports on the same CTAF, the gliders and MOST others are very courteous. There are always exceptions but show me in life where there isn't- I do notice a lot of people are still creatures of habit making all three leg calls when there's absolutely no traffic conflict- only a joining is now required. We fly VISUAL- lookout is primary for avoidance. As to clearing runways, they always seem to be outside the gable markers- no problem! Use of duty runway is preferred, they were this weekend just gone.

 

Caboolture is BUSY- especially on weekends, but we can turn on each other, or work together. Let's work together- there are enough outside Rec aviation who want to shut us down.

Yes, it is Fridays that I fly there mostly. Friday, Sat, Sun was last time, I flew every day, and was there all day Fri/Sat.

 

Been there quite a few weekends now, and I find it exactly as Ballpoint states.
