Goodbye to GAFT 5 Months ago
|

A sad day for GA pilots my area as Geelong Aviation and Flight Training (GAFT) located at YGLG Geelong Aiport (aka Grovedale, aka Mt Duneed) its last student flight. The school closed today and the airport closes on 29 December to make way for more houses.
I believe that I have the honour of being the last student on that final lesson - although I have no doubt the regulars who hold full licences will take advantage YGLG until the final moments of the airport operator's licence.
The staff were literally packing the school during my pre-flight and the parking spots were eerily bare. Instructor Sandy and I had a nice surprise however as a CA-25 Winjeel flew in from YBRS to conduct some aerobatics over the field.
