Well with more and more students coming on board we find ourselves getting quite busy. We have met up with some great people that have now become a part of the ‘Edge’ family.

Given the weather that we have had of late the new Jabiru has managed in 4 months to be nearly due for its 1st 100 hourly inspection. So without even trying to promote the training it has surpassed our expectations. Thanks to you all that have come along to train with us.

The next Jabiru will be here Mid February 2010. Wish it was sooner but Jabiru have had a lot of orders due to the 50% tax rebate. Thanks Kevin, we are getting two for the price of one!!!!

A friend of ours who is getting back into flying has also ordered a new J230 Jabiru to go on line with the flying school so our students will have another nice aircraft for hire and fly. Good on ya Phil you will love it and all the flying you will do in the future.With summer at our doorstep we are expecting to be very busy indeed. So anyone reading this if you want live that dream to fly pay us a visit.

My daughter married Michael on the 19th September and we had them flown into the reception venue in a helicopter, an R44 to be precise. This was much to the surprise of the guests who were waiting for them to arrive in the limo!

It was a great wedding and a wonderful time was had by all. The Bride and Groom looked stunning however I think their gorgeous son (and my grandson) Thomas may have stolen the show on occasion.

We would like also to thank Gippsland Helicopters for doing this for us at such short notice, thanks Jarred.

An aircraft is a nice way for people to arrive at a special occasion and given that Kristy is also a pilot as well as the Sub Editor for Aviator magazine then this seemed an appropriate thing to do. Congratulations again we love you all.

Well this is all very new to me so it is not without problems. In the next post I will try and get the photos in place so you can not only read what is going on, but you can see it as well!!!!!!! Wish me luck.

Well things have been going great, better than we expected. Three months into the RA-Aus flight training we have 13 students. 11 guys and 2 ladies.

So good and so busy we have just ordered our second J160 Jabiru. Given the popularity of the Jabiru we are not taking delivery until mid February 2010 unless of course Jabiru can bring the delivery forward for us. we also have a friend that is ordering a J230 to put on line so our students will have nice new aircraft to train in. The latest equipment in our instrument panels means that the progression to more sophisticated aircraft will be much easier.

It is great to see that so many people are wishing to pursue the dream to fly and take to the sky with a new found freedom.

we look forward to our first ‘Wings Dinner’ which we are hoping will be later in 2010.

We are also exploring getting some General Aviation training happening at Edge Aviation, so I will keep you updated as that comes closer.

I will upload some photos on my next entry to show you our great premises and our new aircraft.

Safe flying. Until next time.
