Hello,
Anyone knows where i can find a list of flying schools that operate a Partenavia in Australia?
Many thanks for your help.

I think it's been done before and quite recently. Try a search.
I know GFS (http://www.generalflyingservices.com.au) in Melbourne have four but they're pretty dear; maybe not though if you're from the UK!!

Hi,
Illawarra Flying School at Bankstown has a Partenavia. My husband Paul used to fly it and loved it. Not sure about Illawarra's financial position - I've heard that they've been struggling so I can only assume they still have it.
Cheers,

Go to Curtis at Camden - those guys are wonderful. Did the flyover for my husbands Paul's memorial for free.

And Wonderful they are indeed, I thought I recognised the shapes and colours (Orange wkm, Blue (RRW) and Green/Jade MWY) of the 3 Curtis Citabrias with one peeling off to the left.

Hello All,
Many thanks for the replies so far, anything closer to Brisbane? I think i can do Sydney if none available in Brisbane.
Many thanks once again.
Try Qld aeroclub at Ybaf they have a nice one and FTA at the same place have one as well. Also if you like try Coffs Coast Jet Centre at Coffs harbour not sure if they still have two but great guys and will look after you alot better than the previouse two mentioned.

I believe that both Royal Queensland Aero Club and Arena Aviation both have one.

Arena no longer have a partenavia - I believe it has gone to Coffs Harbour but I stand to be corrected.
At Archerfield......

Give "Bluewater Aviation" in Townsville a try, heard they had a good Partenavia on line and they were a real friendly mob to deal and fly with. Oh yeh, and the weather is better!
