Bully,
My father bought SYK after he sold a 172 (APJ). Dad was a fyling nut and learnt to fly with Discover Flying while he was Editor of the old Melbourne Sun newspaper. Ispent many hours at Essendon Airport at the time - even washing planes. Another instructor was ??? Fox.
I went in many trips in SYK and wondered if it was still about.
Huw.
172 APJ has gone and is now a Cessena Citation!
