I think it's an excellent suggestion to provide an open area for the tracked vehicles to strut their stuff, but perhaps the Airport is not the best place for it. I've been involved with many airshows in NZ and grass runways and taxiways are a strict NO-NO for tracked vehicles, even driven gingerly. Even the mowed grass non-traffic areas would be significantly damaged by vehicle movements, with the result that "Somebody" will be asked to repair the turf. It is likely a premium for this damage would be added to the rental of the site.

Would it be a better idea to find a nearby Farmer with a large paddock that's due to be ploughed a week or month after Corowa?
