Aerohooligan, I'm with you. Love the aerodrome but it's sad to say Redcliffe aero club would have to be the pick of the flying schools now. RQAC comes a close second because it is a good vibe and you can actually get a lesson. The cost of it makes it come second in my view.

This came straight from the AAC CEO's mouth (and please don't shoot the messenger). When they do their next master plan they are going to look at the option of trying to extend the runway to fit a small passenger jet in there. I know it would take a lot of work but if they could put Beatty road under the runway it could happen along with the co-operation of a lot of people. The moral of the story is that the airport still wants to be an airport but the commercial reality is that it needs to have some industrial tennants.

Enough from me,

Cheers all
