The word is out that a large well known flying school S-E of Melbourne is to close. They fly plastic.
Reasons said to be not making enough money and CFI problems.
Anyone have any goss on this?

There is always a good reason for everything. PM me if you need to know more. I would be suprised if anyone here actually knew the real reason so please guys keep to the truth if you are gonna post as much as this is a rumour network.

Is this an ultralight school we're talking about?
Is it not making enough money, or is money disappearing? :ugh:

The truth shall set you free!

After a Google search I can only assume that they are referring to Jabiru's or something, however as far as I know the school out that way is a Recreational School that flies Jabiru and that isn't closing. There are so many down that way with "plastics" that someone would need to clarify which one it was.

Hmmm.
A school at YMMB operates a diamond or two.
A school at Tooradin operates several Jabiru's.

Perhaps the advert in the months Aviation Trader for the lease on Tooradin Flying School might help solve your puzzle and no doubt "plastics" referred to the 2 x Cirrus that are down there.
