Flying Schools/Clubs in Cairns

[JamesTigris]

Hi all,

I am a Brit looking to head down-under for some hour building. I am investigating Cairns as I have family and sofas to sleep on there...

Can anyone recommend a good school for some training and inexpensive aircraft hire?

Thanks.

Hi James, The folk at the North Qld Aero Cub are friendly and have good aeroplanes.

Give Sally or Kerry a call, and check their web site

Cairns is not a good place for cheap aircraft hire - no competition. However, it may be cheaper than UK :ouch:

I flew at NQAC in WHK with Sally a few years ago while on holiday.
Great fun and good experience - there's a big hill that completely blocks your view of the runway while downwind for 15. All that plus of course the thrill of "follow the 737 on final".
Enjoy!
