Flying help in Sydney, please

[pitfield]

I'm arriving in Sydney early Monday morning. I'm an ultralight student pilot here in Canada, and I'd like to find a flight school in Sydney that will give me a 2-hour instructional flight in the Sydney area on Monday. I'm training in an Evektor Sportstar, and would prefer to fly a Jab. If that's not possible, I'll do it in anything. It's more sightseeing than instructional. I'd really just like to get a taste of Aussie flying and see the sights. I'd be grateful if somebody would give me a recommendation suggesting who I should contact for such a flight. My email address is [email protected]. Please excuse me if I don't reply immediately as I may be in the air.

 

Regards,

 

Chip

Thanks very much for any assistance. I know it's short notice and Monday is a holiday.

Just noticed their Sportstar is under VH registration. That's a bugger

Answer

 

The answer to the question is "The Oaks"

 

For Jabs ring Dave' flying school 02 4657 2771, all week

 

Foxbat or Lightwing, ring SRFC (the club) 0425 251 939 for flying on the weekend.

 

For just somewhere to go and get an infusion of ultralight flying, I can recommend no better than The Oaks. If you go on a Saturday, there are lots of aircraft to see, many people about, and rarely fewer than two aircraft in the air.
