recent happenings
A glider in the main street of Carterton? No, it didn't land there! It was transported by trailer and assembled on site. It generated a lot of interest at the Daffodil Day Festival, and heaps of people purchased trial flight vouchers. Thanks to all the crew who helped.

summer crew
We fly all year round, on weekends and public holidays, subject to fine weather and a dry airfield. Each summer we welcome guest instructors and winch drivers from the northern hemisphere. They provide us with the opportunity for mid-week flying, and allow us to offer excellent week-long training courses.
Les and Gen have given us great service over recent weeks, and have now returned to the cold northern hemisphere. Andrew is proving a dedicated winch operator. Ian Willows is back as an instructor and back-up winch driver. Lars Hestehave has recovered from his trip over from Denmark and is ready to serve.
