" For the last 5 years the aircraft has been used exclusively for Trial Instructional Flights for Air Force Cadets in the top end of the Northern Territory at RAAF Darwin and RAAF Tindal. Hundreds of kids have experienced the joy of aerobatic flight for the first time with qualified flight instructor (QFI). The aircraft is perfect for this type of operation and has performed above all expectations. Unfortunately, due to recent changes in RAAF funding policies the Zlin no longer being needed. The aircraft has been hangered most of the time for the last 5 years. Only moving out of the hanger onto the tarmac when military exercise occurs requiring an F/A-18 to take the hangered parking.
