Looks like they got the footage from a separate incident. Attached image claims to be the Port Pirie forced landing. They don't let accuracy get in thr way.

Have you seen the shit they're peddling? From cheap junk aviation related jewellery to high end holiday packages, someone ay RAaus gets paid to source and market this garbage at our expense. Meanwhile they promote selected businesses like Gofly under the cry of beneficial relationships that look way too cosy to me. Meanwhile the average bug smasher is getting priced out of hangarage, with less and less access to recreational aviation friendly airfields. No effective lobbying or advocacy for the cohort just more deepthroating CASA. We're all doomed lol!

More of the same from RAAus, it appears to me people who are paying for their own flying hours might actually appreciate what the challenges are for most members. Good luck Shawn. Surely we could come up with some fresh faces, even the CEO is recycled.

I am curious to know how much you or your buddy pays for a single hangar block lease or rates and for what size block. Could you also include the location, if it is private, club or public, add info on what services (if any) are available and if its a lease how long is it. Trying to present something to a council for them to think about making some space available for private hangars.

I'll take it if not gone already.

That incident was in 2023 and started doing the rounds again on Facebook on the 1st October 2025. It is old news. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19mMx8bw6j/

Looking at a trip to the Sunshine Coast and interested to know if Caloundra and Gympie are RAA friendly. Would be looking to park up for a fortnight or so.
