00:30 That's what I do and to be able to bring not only Tamworth, the next generation of
00:36 Tamworth pilots, the next generation of New South Wales, next generation of Australians,
00:41 the next generation of international people here to Tamworth to follow in my footsteps
00:46 and to chase their own dreams is something I'm very proud to be a part of and while people
00:50 thank me for coming here and doing this, I thank everyone here for getting behind this
00:54 and making it happen.
00:55 It's a different event isn't it?
00:56 I just can't believe how you do that.
00:58 Yeah, I can't either.
00:59 Close my eyes, hope for the best.
01:02 Really on behalf of the council and the wider community, I'd like to welcome Sydney Flying
01:08 College.
01:09 It's been a long journey, we're here, we're going to cut the ribbon.
01:13 How exciting is it to see this facility now going to be utilised again as what it was
01:17 designed for and that's a pilot training centre.
01:30 As we work together, SFC's investment in Tamworth will contribute to local jobs and increase
01:38 the local economic activity.
01:45 So this represents a massive, a quantum leap in expansion.
01:49 Something that we have a plan for Tamworth and the plan is over the next five years to
01:54 start humbly again and then grow into I think a world class training centre and I'd like
02:01 to thank council for their help in doing this, my board for the vision in supporting it and
02:07 what can I say, it's going to be great up in Tamworth and I hope to come up here much
02:13 more often.
02:14 One, two, three.
02:15 Yay!
02:16 Great day for aviation, great day for Tamworth.
