Austr alia Asia Flight training, in conjunction with Gunnedah Shire Council, put on the demonstration at the Gunnedah Aerodrome.

Member for Tamworth peter Draper said he was very impressed with the incredibly quiet operational capacity of the academy’s Diamond DA20 aircraft.

“Having worked in the aviation industry, I was very impressed with the capability of the academy’s aircraft,” he said.

“This aircraft is used by the American Defence Force, and is very efficient and quiet.

“I am pleased to see an excellent relationship developing between Gunnedah and the flight training academy, with this development turning into a win-win situation for both the Gunnedah district and for the academy.

“Gunnedah is a well serviced, pro active town that will make a great base for operations, and will build on the district’s strong aviation base.”
