[Aus-soaring] Gliding at major airports

[Leigh Bunting]

Imagine doing this at Tullamarine or one of the other major airports in 
Australia. The regulators and security people would have a right royal 
hissy-fit. But it happens elsewhere - but that's in the northern 
hemisphere. Things like this and high-tow just don't work in the 
southern hemisphere, do they ........

Below is part of a communication with a German glider pilot, I've been 
having:

"We fly at the internatiol Airport Münster-Osnabrück (FMO) because we 
were there first, and a part of this is oure own ground.  In the time 
the Airport was build (growing from the airfield of the 
"Luftfahrtvereinigung Greven") they made an agreement that if there 
whould be to many jet traffic the airportmanagement has to find and to 
give us a new airfield for oure own, ready and licensed for sports flying.

They didn´t find one......."
