12.01.2022 OUR AIRPORT IS A "HOT AND HIGH" TOP PERFORMER This week, from yesterday to Friday, 27 November 2020, an Army MRH90 helicopter is conducting performance testing from the Glen Innes Airport. Use of the airfield facilities will be co-ordinated through Council and fuel will be supplied by Super Air. Glen Innes Airport has an impressive score card, ticking all the right boxes, according to Defence Force aviation experts, which puts it on the map for future aviation activity and ex...ercises. The key attraction is our airport’s low air traffic, the large airfield, and, mainly, its ‘high density altitude’. It’s this latter factor, the high density altitude conditions, which are a very important for military training and evaluation with ‘hot and high’ conditions being hard to find in Australia. To carry out the exercise, nine (9) support personnel will be accommodated in Glen Innes for the duration. The MRH90 helicopter will be flying in and out daily to conduct the activity whilst remaining overnight at a military facility. Additionally, two (2) Army Fire Trucks will be supporting the activity and all administration support, catering, and accommodation will be sourced from local businesses. See more
