The NSCA, what an amazing capability and service it was
It certainly was, but was built upon a house of cards, funded by bank loans with absolutely no means of repaying, the largess was staggering, the group skydivers going to Alice Springs in winter with a Cessna 208 to keep their hand in. Have to admire the salesmanship of the conman John Friedrich who set it all up though, sucked everybody in, our operation was just across the road from their main base and we used to just shake our heads.
