Dieselten Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Just a heads up that the well-known and popular restaurant at Wollongong airport, "The Aviator Lounge" was destroyed by fire in the early hours of Monday 20th May 2013. Cause as yet unknown, future of the building uncertain. Judging by the damage it will probably need to be demolished and a new structure built as a terminal for the Fly-In, Fly-Out crews. Not sure if there will be a restaurant in whatever replaces the current building. As someone who enjoyed many a fine meal there over the years, I send my heart-felt commiserations to the owners of the restaurant and their staff during what are extremely difficult times for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Very sad news indeed, the lounge was a great place. Last year I flew V1 in the YWOL Piper SportCruiser and had lunch with the CFI in the lounge, it was a very enjoyable day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
