Caribou's are very hard things to ride. I'd stick to horses.

What!!! :eek:

I know that the view is nice and all but why would they do that to their staff (if they have instructors)?

Eight,

Give Sqn Ldr Tim Shaw at RAAF Amberley a call. He will point you in the right direction.

I'm also looking at getting a Caribou endorsement. Does anyone know of any Caribou's that are available for private hire or for endorsement training (preferrably in Australia)?

Cheers

Hi

Does anybody know where I can private hire a PC9 with instructor to do some local flying.

Would prefer new model with not many hours, and also cheap (less than $250) per hour


Its nice to dream anyways

" Give Hawkers a call in Brizzy! )
Got your finger on the pulse there.
Hawkers sold their hangar to EAD's about 5 years ago and closed up.

They now rent space in the Brenzil hangar ( way down at the old international hard stand ) and run a Aus style FBO. Nothing else.

Mods any chance of having said persons name removed??

Megle2, there were 2 Bou's parked outside the "Hawker Pacific" hangar at Brisbane on Friday. My apologies your lordship if the hangar is not owned by Hawker any more.

Tim Shaw was a TV personality famous for selling everything imaginable from DEMTEL in the eighties and nineties.
He was famous for giving away sets of steak knives with everything. "BUT WAIT! There's more! :D

Z.:ok:

Zhaadum, thanks for the history lesson mate.

Dont you not think that an anonymous forum should remain that way, especially when the person whose name is mentioned proably didn't agree to have it published here???

I know i am personally very protective of my personal details being public knowledge.

XXX, thanks for the lofty title.

Simply Hawkers have been long gone.
EADS will be cheesed off that you can't read their signage.
And when I looked over that way last week there were 4 bou's.

And no instructors.
