NZFF

This post is simply to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the safe return of a remarkable man on his epic solo flight around the world in a tiny NZ-built Airtourer 115 (cruise: 100knots)
The [somewhat controversal] journey finished in Hamilton 40 years ago today (August 1 1969-2009) having taken approx. 10 weeks.
Although this was a remarkable achivement in itself, it was just the foretaste for well over 100 similar adventures for Cliff.
Congratulations to you Cliff Tait (a member of this forum) is still "flying" up to 30 hours a week on your FS2004.
His aeroplane, dubbed Miss Jacy, is currently housed outdoors at Motat (pix attached).

Phil , perfect ! we will be looking forward to some world tours very shortly . The little Airtourer 115 has come along way .

Congratulations Cliff

Cliff and his wife Joyce are visiting their Daughter & Family in Australia not only to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the flight but also to celabrate their 57th Wedding Anniversary (Sunday 2nd August).

Cheers
Ian

Congrates to Cliff,

Hope the yesterday was memorable and it is an awesome get togther today
