Spotting at Ballina Airport

Yesterday I called in the Ballina airport for around an hour for some plane spotting. 

Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK / YBNA) is a small regional airport located at Ballina, New South Wales. It is owned and operated by Ballina Shire Council. It serves Ballina and the nearby famous town of Byron Bay, a 20-minute drive north. The airport is 5 km (3 miles) from the Ballina town centre. It has one Asphalt runway, 06/24, which is 1,900 mts long (6,234 Feet) and is 2 mts AMSL. This airport does not have a control tower so pilots are required to communicate via a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to safely co-ordinate arrivals and departures.
