Happy Birthday Eddie!

Eddie, celebrating his birthday today reports that all is going well in Benalla. Ed is attending the Basic Airworthiness course held there and says that it is excellent. Night times have been a bit chilly in the caravan though - missing his electric blanket or possibly his wife no doubt!!

Thanks Hana for the great photo

Julian goes solo

Congratulations to Julian after his solo in the J160. Great effort!

Dave making the most of the glorious weather has just been towed up by Don.

Great memories

The Condor is now loaded and ready for departure to Japan. What great memories we have of that wonderful day when Ingo soared above Tocumwal on the Condor's first flight after restoration by Mike and the team of gliding enthusiasts.

Don and Jeff return to the hangar after completing Jeff's bi-annual flight review.

Condor going home to Japan

The container for the Condor's trip back to Japan arrives under the watchful eyes of Mike and Ingo.

The Savannah is complete!!

Mark, proud owner of the recently completed (and long awaited!!) home built Savannah flew in to say hello. What an achievement!! Just love the colour. Mate Greg, along with son Russell also flew in to celebrate Marks' achievement.

Sunday continued to be an eventful day with Don and Jan keeping the J160 busy.

Dave enjoyed soaring in his LS4 even though it was a bit rough at times. At present he is finishing the day with a flight in the SportStar.



Great to see Johannes, Jutta and grand-daughter Nadine this morning.

Glorious Saturday

It was a glorious day with the temp. reaching 20 degrees. Don headed off to Deni early for a full day of instruction in the J160.

The younger generation (Kel & Jaz) however were content to stay indoors honing their Kareoke skills.

Ray took advantage of the beautiful blue sky enjoying a trip in the SportStar.

Spring

Geoff called in the other day in his home built Jab to say a quick hello.

Hishashi and his young son Shochan have enjoyed flying in the SportStar recently.

Tony and his mates flew into Tocumwal in the Saratoga for an overnight stay on their way to the Birdsville races. Ed would have loved to have gone with them however he is attending a week long airworthiness course in Benalla starting tomorrow. Membership of SportAviation - due on 31st August. A warm welcome to all new members and thankyou for the continued support of existing members.

Ed on the move

Apologies for the lack of blogs lately. Eddie has been busy the past week or so helping eldest son Damon move (in Melbourne) as well as moving the Toc family to the SportAviation site. The Jabiru has been constantly in and out while Don and Mike have been completing scheduled propeller maintenance on the SportStar. Yesterday Dave took colleague Ben flying in the Blanik. Ben said he would be back for lessons.
Warwick and Judy spent a pleasant Sunday afternoon flying in the J160.

Valet parking!

Don keen to get the Jabiru out of the rain and in the hangar gave Vasant and Eddie a pleasant ride!

Congratulations to Vasant on completing his his Cross country endorsement

Sunshine Saturday

Vasant took his wife Asha flying in the Jabiru this morning. After lunch Vasant continued his cross country training with Don.



Bill flew the Maule to-day while Eddie attended the Victorian Soaring Association A.G.M. at Nagambie.

Again Dave went soaring with a flight of two hours in his LS4. Dave and Bill then went flying in the SportStar.
