    Hey all,

    I have a mate who is interested in learning to fly somewhere in the Sydney basin. Looking for a recommendation for a school in the area. GA or RA is fine but preferably one that does both.

    Thanks,
    AS

    GFS is now Oxford Aviation Academy. I know nought about the Bankstown operation, sorry, not even sure it is still there despite the entry on the Bankstown Airport website - it looks out of date as does the entry for the Sydney Aerobatic School.

    However, I would recommend Red Baron Flight Training.

    Daves Flying School at The Oaks is alive and active . It has 3 Jabiru LSA55 aircraft , 1 Lightwing and a Quicksilver GT500 available for training . If a school that does GA and RA is needed , then I suggest giving Dave Maddox at Gostner Aviation , Camden a go . They have Jabiru J160's , both GA and RA registered . Sydney Jabiru Flying School at Bankstown with Jabiru LSA55 and Tecnam Golf is a good school too , I did my training with them at Hoxton Park , and highly recommend them ..
