Winter is nearly over, and it has been unseasonaly wet during our 'dry' season. Fortunately our annual Airpark Breakfast Fly-in had fine weather, as did the annual Air & Land Spectacular at Emu Gully. Our hangar was packed with aircraft, with a brand new but shipping-damaged SportCruiser receiving new wing leading edge skins and tailplane as well as nose gear, and another two being assembled, registered and test flown. Sadly, Mister Pickle, Chris' much loved miniature Poodle had to be 'put-down' due to failing health, after nearly 18 years of great companionship. He now has a spot under some trees on the property. Speaking of which, another 100 native trees have gone in, and along with the other 200, they are starting to make a visual difference.
