hi guys
do you know where I (or someone) can get a type rating on either of the above aircraft in Bris or nearby? I'm after location, $ and avg hours taken to get it.
Thanks

Seair at the Gold Coast has a couple of bongos. Don't know the prices but Pete Gash is a very good operator. BR

Also, you'll need to find a good gym to tone up the old biceps otherwise the only way you can roll the Bongo is to use differential power. :}

Love the term "Good Operator" describes so many different things...
As far as Seair, their Islanders are normally quite busy and if it comes down to your endo or a last minute charter or re-shuffle of aircraft, you will be left thumb twiddling. But give them a try, you never know.
Try the rocky aero club, they have SLM I believe. Thought there was also RTP in Mackay just recently, Mike Jones was doing endo's on it recently. Might be worth the return airfare...
And have fun, they are a gorgeous, awesome, capable twin. They aint a sportscar, more a truck, a beautiful, leaky old truck, and they are a tad heavy in aileron and rudder, but to me there's just something about them.
