The Singapore Air Force are selling off their Siai Machetti 211 jet trainers that were based at Pearce. Most likely they are now at Jandakot.

Well they are not Hawks but that Machetti thing sounds more like it.

Speaking of which why are TAFE getting a jet when none of the apprentices attending Swan Tafe are working on that type of aircraft. All the students are from GA fixed wing and Heli background.
Surely they don't think they can compete with groups such as Aviation Australia ??

May be the same ones advertised for sale (to civilian market?) in Aviation Trader 'from $200,000' each. I want one but wife says no. Women can be so unreasonable.

Maybe its the Royal Aero clubs new training machines . Out with the 152's and in with the machi's . That should speed up the circuits

Maybe fighter combat are upgrading them Nanchangs and finally getting something worth wearing a flight suit and a helmet in
Would go great for stroking the egos down there

SK, make the club an offer. Then you'll never have to see them all go.

I Believe, FCI are selling the Jets(Marchetti 211) for Singapore AF, They range from 2-300k and come with a heap of spares - heard it through the grape vine.

I was thinking, can you easily put these on the AUS register with bang seats in them? Or do you have to remove them and then wear parachutes?

You can have ejection seats, as long as they are properly maintained.
