NASA CATA Final end for what remains
Visited Cessnock last week. I was there in Blue Flight 1979. I noticed worksite fencing up around the old academy buildings which have been vandalised over recent years. Apparently what's left is about to be demolished over coming months after which it will all be gone. I snuck in through the fencing and had a walk around the old buildings mess, rec-room and hallways etc including my old dorm room even. Was always a bit of controversy about the place back in its day but my training and the foundation I gained there has seen me enjoy a wonderful and safe career in aviation for near 40 years. I think most people have fond memories of wherever they started out eh...
I didn't have a camera back in those days so the only pic I ever got from the place was one the folks took at my graduation. If anyone has some pics from around the time of Blue Flight 79 I'd love to see some. Feel free to message me. Would love to hear what anyone from Blue Flight 79 is up to.
