Alastair's a natural!

Alastair (above) enjoyed a trial instructional flight with Eddie in the EuroFox late this morning. His natural flying ability shone through. Rod (top) and Ian (middle) familiarized themselves with the EuroFox in preparation for towing in the upcoming gliding season. Great to see Tony & Michael who flew in this afternoon for a quick visit. Yesterday, we farewelled Nathan who had a great week at SportAviation honing his RAA skills with Eddie. We look forward to his return later on in the year. Great also to see Graham yesterday who flew in for a short visit to check out the progress of the Caravan Park.
