Yeah, I did a bunch of training there and it's way better than AF. Good crowd of paid instructors who actually give a sh!t about what they do, particularly Kelly & Brendan. Good aeroplanes, well maintained and well kept. Good strip - no extended taxi times on your bill, you'll get REAL good at x-wind TO & LND. Good area, has PAL, is a CTAF but you can climb into CTA or CTZ overhead the field, as well as YBMC 15min north and the free ILS at OK 25 minutes west, & of course the AF GAAP. Gotta be the most visually enjoyable training area in Bris.

Also see Rick at Avalon Air Services at Caboolture, especially for IFR; good rates and OK aeroplanes.

Go a bit further afield and see Airco at Roma; good aeroplanes (including a couple of twins available for PVT hire), good rates and great training location/weather.
