I totally agree. With the RAAF moving its ab-initio training to East Sale, there is going to be a lot of unused infrastructure at Tamworth airport.
Qantas will use all the other councils as a bargaining chip to get the best deal, but, with all the infrastructure (& some instructors) already in place, they could be up and running almost immediately.
When you add the Tamworth weather into the equation, I would be very surprised if it went anywhere else.
