Was talking to soemone on tour about the busiest airport in australia (air craft movements) and just confirmed that I was right in thinking Jandakot won !

it wasn't me as I would have told you it was Jandakot
oh well aren't you the ducks cricket helmet nuts![]()
no, i just studied Aviation in High School![]()
is that really worthy of a smote?.....
What's the smoting about?
I used to live near Jandakot and in an hour there was about 20 planes flying in or out of there. There is one ambulance on stand by and one is always at the airport, because RFDS flies in and out of there.
There's a lot of flight training there. Do they count the repeated landings/take-offs students do as separate flight movements?
Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.
- Winston Churchill
In my line of work a landing is one movement and a take off is another, so I am guessing that might be what builds the numbers up? Bankstown and Moorabbin are also flight school airports, aren't they?
as long as the number of take offs match the number of landings - its all good.
Bankstown is a "light aircraft" airport

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
A "Landing" is any crash with a location of the pilots choice that you all walk away from![]()

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
