Great day to try gliding!!

Allan & Margaret both had a great time gliding with Eddie in GVY this afternoon and yes Margaret definitely enjoyed viewing the Murray River from above!

Likewise for Rod and Dorothy who made the most of our great weather discovering Tocumwal from above in GVY.

Hannu

Hannu (above) has been having a great time at SportAviation. Yesterday he flew yet another flight over 500kms in JJ. Average speed 121kms per hour!

We have our suspicions for one reason or another that Hannu really is one of Santa's little helpers! (Just like Kari)

Hannu is a busy boy. As well as soaring long distances he keeps JJ immaculate, is often seen working away on his computer (above) and he is definitely King of the BBQ (below). Hannu often invites guests to join him for a feast.

Welcome & farewell
