I emailed a skydive company Fromm moorabbin airport. They generally want 1000TT due to it being a busy area.

Easiest way in is to contact Bowie at Skydive the Beach YWOL. He seems to be cornering the whole dropzone scene. Has a fleet of turbine and piston aircraft. Drop zones in every state with the latest acquisition being in the Whitsundays and just snapped up the turbine 206. You can either fly jumpers or ferry rigs and staff around. Probably a few opportunities for hangar rats as well. Probably better than trying to get in with some charter mob.

Bowie and his outfit are more interested in peddling their "jump pilot qualification course" these days. They advertised recently but it seems that no positions were actually available!

Maybe Bowie has learnt from Big Al? Just another revenue stream!

So you're saying this skydiving company uses aircraft as a means of regularly moving staff and equipment from DZ to DZ and they employ pilots specifically to do this?
