Top Gun Gone

The Illawarra Mercury reported a couple of days ago that Top Gun has officially folded with debts piled high and many people owed substantial sums of money.

I always enjoyed the sight of the L39 Albatross flying in and out of YWOL...was a bit of a talking-point for the aviation enthusiasts.

I guess the bingle at YGLB was the straw that broke the camel's figurative back. Sad to see the demise of yet another aviation-related business though. I hope those owed money will receive at least some, but experience shows it is wise not to hold one's breath waiting.

Yes, sounds like there's quite a story behind all this. Anyone wanting to read the Mercury article [Click here].

I'd be interested to know the history of the company and where it all went wrong. I guess it will at least make all the anti-noise crowd smile

There are presently no L39 conducting adventure flights in the country. You can however come for a burn in our Strikemaster at Ballarat if you like!!
