“The Whitney Boomerang is definitely better than the Cessna 152. It is the best two-seat trainer around.”

Min Stokes,Minovation, Jandakot Airfield, W.A.

“The first Boomerang has been very popular and demand has got to the point where we can justify investing in a second one. The Boomerang has fulfilled its role as a good, sturdy basic trainer able to withstand the rigours of student pilots and our summer temperatures by using technology that has stood the test of time. The Boomerang is built up to a standard, not compromised down to a price or weight. In the long term I feel sure that our Boomerangs will still be training student pilots in many years to come when other types will be long gone.”

Lucas Tisdall, Chief Operating Officer, Flight One Training, Archerfield.

“The opportunity to bring a brand new FAR23 compliant machine online was not to be taken lightly. We needed a machine that fitted our operating model in terms of cost and versatility, and represented value to the student for their hard earned training dollars. The fact that we could tour the factory in Kingaroy and see the pride with which it was built was also a telling factor in our choice. The team at Dean-Wilson Aviation could not be more helpful as they look for ways to continually improve the adaptability of the Boomerang in the modern training environment, and this (along with the student take up) was a further factor in our electing to take on a second machine.”
