For those of you coming to the Airfield for the first time and are using a sat. nav. system, some systems have the Airfield labelled as Katoomba Airport. If you put in Katoomba Airfield it will tell you no such place exists, and that you are a dill for entering the wrong address.
I'm hoping to be able to get to the Airfield quite early this time around, an hour or two before sunset. I've got a few things to do before nightfall, so I'm hoping to be there around 5pm. Normally we kick things of before sunset.
If you do find yourself there early and no other astro nuts are around, please announce yourself to the Airfield manager, Rod, to let him know your intensions for the astro viewing. There are some very expensive aircraft kept there which are jealously guarded. This last summer has seen the Airfield be the centre of action for the aircraft firefighting efforts. While the immediate threat has somewhat eased of bushfires, a helicopter has been based at the Airfield all summer long incase things start again.
