I don't think you can say Sale's totally inappropriate for BFTS - as someone stated previously, Point Cook did the job for a long time and it's no better than Sale Wx wise.
There's a heap of airspace - it would just need to be managed better, and using West Sale for BFTS circuit ops would work.
Having said that, I don't particularly want to see BFTS move from where it is, but Sale could be made to work without too much drama, I think.
As SGT Schultz says, 'I know nothing', but from the rumour mill and what's in the Gippsland local papers, someone's pushing the Sale barrow pretty hard.
As I said before, though, Mareeba has to be the location of choice.
