This is so disappointing to hear, I knew about JKs death but had no idea the entire aero club had shutdown. This was a great club in years long past and was a feeder for students into all the scenic operators. What is the pathway now? Is 50 hours mountain flying still a minimum requirement to work locally? Are there many opportunities to fly or is it still saturated with young CPL’s trying to score some hours like back in my day? I’ve been gone a long time, maybe Covid has destroyed the tourist industry there? Sad news.
