I found this quote by Noel Kruse of Red Baron Flight Training (formerly
Sydney Aerobatic School). I thought that it was a strange and somewhat
curious claim to make (and publish) given the stiff competition at
Bankstown and indeed the rest of the country.

"Red Baron Flight Training can teach you to fly an aeroplane better and
more economically than any other flying school in this country. These
courses are not the shortest or the cheapest: they are simply the best."

Noel Kruse – Former RAAF fighter pilot; founder Sydney Aerobatic School –
now Red Baron Flight Training.

Does anybody have experience with this school who could explain to me how
they can make such a claim? Are they REALLY the best?

The school is no longer owned by Noel Kruse. It was purchased by Joel
Haski and Stephan Kljajic about a year ago, so the quote doesn't come off
as arrogant as it would if Noel was still steering the ship. With the
purchase came the name-change (Haski purchased Red Baron in 2005) and the
end of its quasi-military association.

And NO, they're not the best (although they *are* good).

Thanks for that. Here's an interesting quote from their web site. I wonder
how most instructors would react to this kind of generalisation? These
guys have some ego!!!

"Today, many modern Flying Instructors get sweaty palms above 45 degrees
of bank, shake more than the aircraft at the point of a stall and run the
other way at the mere mention of a spin! In short, their inhibitions
render them incapable of giving effective flight instruction in those very
things that should be taught and which demand good flight instruction".

I'm going to call them this week and get some flight training info just to
hear their sales pitch in person!

Kruse must have access to a better GPS than anybody else. Big Claim! Like to
see him substantiate the claim!

I'd like to see, read or hear, from those who actually make claims a la
Kruse, who have actually succeeded in business over a period say of 5 years.
Sadly for many would be users of services like Kruse's, they think that the
pasture is greener on his side!

I suspect that they don't really believe this crap. It's JUST a sales
pitch, surely? If it weren't, then this is quite a serious issue. I wonder
how they would react if other Bankstown schools talked down the
aerobatics/air force techniques that seems to be their trademark in Sydney.

I recall some year back when Basair, who owe virtually all their entire
good fortune to online marketing, engaged in similar anti-competitive
behaviour. They own the domain name aviation.com.au which is a fairly
generic domain name, so obviously have control over all the sub domains as
well. Well, of course they had aerospace.aviation.com.au up and running
with a web site, keywords and other meta data to match so they could cash
in on the good name of Aerospace Aviation. Boy that made me mad.

Sooo, you don't vote in many elections, do you?
