Congratulations Sarah on winning the draw for free flight training on our Husky. You were the lucky winner out of the 17 entries. This should enable you to complete a Type Rating for this aircraft. Looking forward to flying with you.

Sarahs awesome photos after her Intro to Type flight. Here’s what she had to say about the flight.
“I absolutely loved my intro to type in John’s Aviat Husky. Flying this beautiful aircraft provides a whole new flying challenge which is exciting and so much fun! John’s calm, professional and personal approach really allowed me to get the most out of my flight. I would definitely recommend this awesome experience.”
Well done Sarah

Husky ZK USK out looking for the Orca pod today after possible sightings in the area. No luck as yet but the search continues.

Yesterday we took off from Paraparaumu with a pilot and a whale rescue spotter on board to search the south coast for the Orca pod. Sightings of the pod in and around Island Bay had been reported earlier, however we could not find any sign of them. We continued our search along the coast and as far round as north of Turakirae Head. Sadly no luck yesterday but we will keep trying to find them. A really big thank you to the guys in Air Traffic Control in Wellington for making it possible to operate this flight in their airspace and also to DOC and Whale Rescue for all their help.
