Is avgas available on PLCH?

re: Avgas at Cassidy International Posted by fabiopilot on December 7, 2010

Just out of curiosity. Was Avgas available ? Is there a need to pre-arrange it.

Avgas at Cassidy International Posted by on February 25, 2010

Flying on a ferry flight with my new (used) Saratoga from USA to Australia and the ferry company has scheduled landing at Cassidy for fuel. If there is no avgas then I won't be going any further. They always land there so I assume they arrange to ensure it is available.
