Does anyone know where i can get a shrike endo?
Preferably in FNQ.
I have already tried Barrier and they wont do it, and GAM is out.
Cheers for all your help.

The hardest part about getting a Shrike endo is learning to taxi the beasts - flying them is a doddle!

Once you get used to taxiing them, it is a beautiful thing.

and shaking the wing to get a few more litres in the old beast?
The worse thing about a Shrike is convincing the grumpy refueler that yes I DO want full mains

Heheh - he had the wrong refueller then, didn't he Apache?!

Bob Harris Flying School Innisfail might be able to help, although getting their hands on one will be a problem. I'm a bit surprised that Barrier won't do it I thought they had a Shrike online they could use?
Not many options in FNQ for training full stop let alone endos but good luck mate you won't know if you don't ask!

DEFINITELY a Pilots aircraft!
everything in a logical place.... like ILS/VOR up near the windscreen... not bottom left corner of panel as an afterthought!
One fuel tank.... so NO imbalance - EVER.
Large cabin - probably the largest in a piston twin.
Built like a brick sh!thouse - felt REALLY REALLy safe flying it.
Thank you Ted Smith!!!
