Congratulations to the Wagner's and via their tenacity, drive and innovation the people of toowoomba.

I have been lead to believe an American company will actually run the school side of things.

Wonder what they will make of the "Australian" way of teaching people to fly as opposed to the US?
Hope they have made allowance in their budget for vast amounts of crushed tree's that will be needed.
Thousands of pages of manuals to write against thousands of pages of regulations. Thousands of pages
of boxes to be ticked to establish compliance. Hundreds of thousands of dollars expended before they even
buy an airplane to train in.

I find it passing strange that Quaintass built their heavy maintenance hub in North America, allegedly because it was more cost effective, but some would say to escape Australian red tape, yet decide to base their training school in Australia.
Comparing the cost of training and red tape here compared with there and also the US is a far safer place to fly, the decision is puzzling.
