Royal Newcastle Aero Club suspends operations
News out of Maitland this weekend that the CFI at RNAC has resigned due to differences in direction with the board. A director's meeting last night stated that it would take 4-6 months to get going again, so as of last night all the Instructors have resigned also.
Very sad to see a once proud institution come to this - I have watched the (now ex-) CFI and his team build that flying school into something very impressive with a constant stream of graduates at RPL and PPL level (and CPL for all I know).
Well done Phil and best of luck for the future.
In the bigger picture, you would have to worry about the future of the airfield.
It's all a terrible shame.
