Hang on a sec, MFTA is at YMNG and MFT is at YMMB - don't confuse the two. I believe MFTA almost exclusively trains Chinese cadets.

However I don't think much of the aerodrome now - landed there last week on 23 and it was in a poor state of repair, with many gaps in the tarmac to wreck your undercarriage, besides sprouting lots of weeds. Very sad to see it degenerate to that (I used to train at YMNG years ago when it was nice and quiet). Now the airstrip is overloaded with aircraft from 3 flight schools based there (not counting visiting aircraft doing IR practice) and the airport owner has the audacity to charge hefty landing fees ... you've gotta see the state of the runway to believe it.
