Just to let you all know, Frank Parker will be down at Omaka for some test flying on Saturday.
An open day is happening on Saturday and the aeroplane will hopefully fly then.

This depends on weather and servicability as usual.

Here is a photo from the photo shoot in late December, the aircraft is looking great.

I here the weather would be ideal for a test flight down into Christchurch , hour here , hour back ... sure we could russell up a nice lunch for him

nice birdy

190 is in the air right now doing some buzzing over Omaka

has done a couple of high cuicuits and headed your way again

I said Lunch ... o well , Dinner makes it a little more formal and for a good night , but did Frank get this far !

He won't be going that far south.
Test flights start overhead Omaka before he heads into the Awatere Valley where he can fly at higher altitude.
He flew two 1.5 hour flights today which was great.

Love having the aeroplane in our back yard.

I also saw him playing around over at Woodbourne did he land there??

Towards the end of each flight he headed to Woodbourne to do some circuits on the sealed runway and longer grass runways.
