Etienne & Anthony both fly the LS4a!!

Etienne and Anthony's last day culminated in dinner at the Golf Club. They had a busy last day both doing a great job converting from the Twin Astir to the LS4a. We look forward to seeing them and hopefully Michel (depending on his study schedule) in the near future. Well done guys!!


 Des (above) flew in for some endorsements in his X-Air.

 Etienne took to the LS4a like a duck to water with excellent take offs and landings.


 Now it's your turn Anthony. Like father like son, Anthony did a great job converting from the Astir to the LS4a.
