I learnt to fly in the early 80s at Suncoast flight training at Maroochy (was that the name? The Cessna flight training one owned and operated by Doug N). The twin Otters use to park out front the old terminal and it seemed like the dream job.
When I remember all the GA aircraft parked and flown from there back then, and see what is left today, it's very sad. Probably some of the same tails.
