| Subject: | Re: Aviation Resources Down Under |
G'day Steve,
Try General Flying Services at Moorabbin Airport (35 min drive
south of the CBD). They have a whole bunch of new C172/182
airplanes with glass.
Otherwise, go talk to some of the companies at Essendon
Airport (25 min north of CBD)...I am sure you will find what
you are looking for.
Cheers
Russell
