Hi, Hervey Bay is the closest ... but ... there is also a private air park at Pacific Haven just out of Howard which is about 30 minutes from Toogoom. There is also a private strip just out of Burrum Heads (on the right as you head out towards Howard) fronting the road however the last time I went past even though it was well maintained it had the gables across the strip. Further afield there is the Childers strip (about 40 minutes) and Maryborough (also about 40 minutes). Happy hunting ...

Thanks folks. I should add that when I first Googled the weight of the MGs' shells when restoring them the first response was "depends on how much of the rust has fallen off !". They are now just daily drivers used mainly to get me to the flying lessons ... Which continue to progress ... slowly ...

How many would you like ? A groupie attached of the now second hobby since wings have crept in.

Hi, At last doing something other than ground based. Finding these forums full of good info ... will be helpful when I eventually get a licence and something to use it in. Training in Jabs and so far all is good (though the instructor throwing in the start of a spiral dive when I wasn't expecting it did grab my attention).
