Re SFTC
SFTC has recently requipt its fleet with new Liberty aircraft and a some new C172s. They probably have the most modern fleet at the airport. They have 2 good sims and some well presented 152s and a couple of duchesses i think. They have a number of different nationality students there. I believe that most of the issues with the Liberty that have been alluded to relate to a few landing incidents, so unfortunately a couple of students poor handling have created a problem that is getting more attention than it deserves. They generally have a good name a bankstown. Maybe you could do better, but you could definately do worse than training at SFTC. (No I am not a student or past student, just answering the question asked)
