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.  If you are interested please apply to Allan Johnson for more details.
