Two Questions RE YSSY...
What is the 'apron' of an airport? (I heard the SydSquad guys use the term in one of their YouTube livestream videos.)
Secondly, what plans are there (if any) for the old YSSY control tower at Tower Beach? (Obviously it doesn't get used for air traffic control anymore.) Thanks in advance. |

The old control tower does get used on occasions when the current one fails. Has happened in the past.
Apron is an area for parking aircraft and is not a taxyway or runway. |

I spent way too much time in that tower last century, some interesting things happened in the public car park at times……it was like the public didn’t think there were folk up high with binoculars! |
