Not really a rumour when it's a NOTAM. It's happening.

ZZC has been fitted with an 'air-operable' cargo door by Cobham's Adelaide engineers. Not sure if others have had the same work done but Cobham seem pretty happy with the results and their capability at modifying their planes. If they do get the contract, it won't only be Aerorescue that gets the chop. The rest of the Pearl mob rely on that contract to support their ops. Bye bye Pearl?

Based on the number of them that have been removed from the register as per the latest rego reports, you'd think the value was closer to zero.

Silly how they add the buyers premium of 7.7%. The aviation advertiser isn't an auction !

So where to now?

I came up just on 12 months ago and flew only once with av8 but then reluctantly put flying on the back burner due to the inflated cost relative to the southern states. I have my ppl and went looking again during the last week only to discover that they are G O R N! Any thoughts on a private hire 172 and / or another flight training school up here?
