Farewell YCOB

[cap71n]

For all who don't already know, the powers that be have decided to sell off the land that YCOB is (was) presently situated on. The last flying day was 29/12/05, and the crosses were painted on the runways the day after.

The college is holding a fly past and celebration of the airports life on 5/1/06. If, like me, you can't make it, then feel free to post any of your (positive!) memories of the place instead.

RIP YCOB, and thanks to everyone who made my time there so wonderful.

YCOB=Cooranbong/Avondale School of Aviation.

Cooranbong and Aero Pelican all at once pretty much. Is YMND next? Or YWVA?

[disco_air]

I'm guessing Cooranbong also fallen into the terrible spiral of subdivision on the central coast, resulting in hectare after hectare of project-home residential estate?

Wont be long before Warnervale sees this fate too.

We need an aviation oriented person with lots of money to buy these airport lands and not allow it to be redeveloped!

Dick? hahahahah :}

Actually, I BELIEVE that Dick buying YWVA will revitalise GA. If he does not, he is just being an enemy.

You mentioned the college is holding a flypast/celebration 5/1/06. Is that a typo or has it already happened?
A shame that the college has buckled at the knees to the developers, however it seems to be the trend.

Where is Avondale school of Aviation relocating to?

[cap71n]

Sorry, typo. Flyby on 5th Feb. They have relocated to CNK, and from all indications operations are as normal (and a really good intake of students!!)
Cheers,

Ten years ago 2 wise men invested $1 million each.
One invested in Sydney real estate the other in GA

Who ended up with the most toys?

(hypothetical)

Flying has commenced at YCNK, however; the theory/classroom work is still being done at Cooranbong.
