kgwilson Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I saw a for sale advert for Skyfox Gazelle 24-3184 in the December magazine & noted that Skyfox Flight Training has closed down. I did my PPL-RAAus conversion training in this aircraft and found the guys at the school very friendly and helpful & they always seemed busy. The phone is disconnected & the website has gone but they are still advertised on other sites including RAAus. It seems such a pity given the Caloundra Aerodrome has been given a future. I also notice that Freeflying Emerald now has a Gazelle on line. Does anyone know what happened here? Kevin
dazza 38 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 They closed a while ago Kev. John Mc Bride has moved to Tasmania I beleive.
dazza 38 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 ...at least he moved to the best state..... Im comming to see you CFI, I have never been to Tassie, I always have wanted have a look.Maybe a holiday is in order.
kgwilson Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 John is a keen Trout Fly fisherman as I recall so he has gone to a better place. Also normally greener than round here but not at the moment (once you wash the mud off).
dunlopdangler Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 well that is certainly an end of an era...John certainly did a lot in developing recreational flying in the region and I know will be missed..hope he continues to do the same down in tassie...wonder what triggered the move though...true love perhaps.. anyone know what Brett is doing?
