Proflite Bankstown
 
Hi All,

A happy new year to everyone.

A quick question - does anyone know what happened to Proflite flying school in Bankstown?

I've been living overseas for a number of years but was recently visiting Sydney so thought I would hire a plane from my old flight school for a scenic flight, but they appear to have gone. Just curious.

(on an unrelated note, I can't get over how much development there has been at the previously sleepy Bankstown Airport in the seven years since I was last here).

thanks

Yes has been a long time since GP owned it. I recall him having ongoing battles with the regulator, or rather one person there, more specifically. Eventually he sold the business to someone else.

One thing I enjoyed about the place was they weren't uptight like some of the other schools around at the time. Did my aeros there in the old Beagle :eek: with SH. Wonder what he's up to now, he was doing some bizjet stuff for a while around that time.

Last I heard GP had heart problems and I think he lost his medical. That must be about ten years ago though.

The Beagle! A lot of fun... anyone know it's fate?
EPI I think, but a long time ago, so not certain.
