AST in Perth used to have a colourful Instructor or two, before it's sad demise.

The story goes that one of the more, shall we say, excellent, but slightly unconventional, Instructors took off on the short westerly runway in a 172. This runway was famous for having nowhere to go, should the old donk stop, as the climb out was over a wood.

Anyway, the old donk stopped on him and he stall turned the 172 and landed back on the runway! Eyewitnesses reckon it was something to behold, but it's definately something not to practice!! (Below 3000'agl anyway!)
