Flying in Canberra – June

July 11th, 2008

The Canberra guys have been hitting it hard this winter. With some of the most favorable winter flying conditions in Australia dedicated pilots flew every weekend for the last few months.

June was not exception. Dave alone wracked up more than 20 hour in the month.

June saw us flying at Spring Hill, Lanyon, Lake George, Pig Hill, Grenfell and Binalong.

This video is a taste of what we’ve been up to.
