Geocache Description:


LETHBRIDGE RWY 28 Short Final

There has been a huge upgrade of this aerodrome in recent times and part of this has been the sealing of the main runway 28/10 which is 1200m in length

The elevation of the aerodrome is 790 feet

This aerodrome is also home to the local flying club, the Geelong Sports Aviators, who have an active fly away program and a regular social Saturday lunch 

Since the redevelopment at the airpark, many club members have built hangars to protect their aircraft 

For those who may be wondering about the title of this cache YLED is the aerodrome designation. The Y an Australia wide prefix and LED is the unique 3 letter abbreviation for Lethbridge

The 28 is the magnetic Runway direction to the nearest 10 degrees   Aircraft approaching overhead this position to make a landing are on a heading of 280 degrees. Look across the road in 280 deg trees you will be looking along RWY 28 and you may be lucky enough to see an aircraft overhead
