Hi Nev, as long as possible! best regards to you also. Franco.

Hey Everyone! The lady in the back seat is, Sameena! Sameena and her husband, JaGa, recently move to our area and are currently operating the Astron Twinrivers-United Roadhouse, at Deeral. I offered to to take both of them flying, to show them our area and experience the Drifter and they accepted! I`ve also taken JaGa, flying. https://youtu.be/oentbji3sXY

Thank you! Very much appreciated! In the back seat is Alex, the guy from the RAAF, who`s photo I posted earlier! https://youtu.be/YVMLbucgJBA

Hey Guys! Stuart Perkins, is a fb friend of mine! Known him for quite a while now! You can reach Stuart on fb here, Facebook or Email [email protected] Franco.

Just some more guys, who wanted to experience Drifter flying with me, over the Christmas holidays! Alex is in the Royal Australian Air Force! He told me it was the most exhilerating flight he`d done! Being in the breeze, feeling free, did it for him. Lauren is a medical Doctor! Said she`d deffinately do it again! Amelia, Happy as! and Yes! I did make reference to Amelia Earhart, to her, and she did know of Amelia Earhart. Franco Ps, It`s the joy that those who fly with me in the Drifter experience, that keeps me wanting to do, what I do. Facebook

Happy New Year, everyone! Just letting everyone know I`m still going strong, the Drifter is still in Demand and they just keep coming, wanting to experience Drifter flying, with me... I took up several people over the Christmas period! These guys are two of them. Fred is an airline Captain! He learnt to fly, with Peter Reid, in the Drifter at kooralbyn Valey, at 15 years of age! He has flown the A320, A330, B787 and currently flies the B747. Stephen is a Helicopter pilot, who flies workers out to oil rigs, off West Australia. Andrew Dunning, a facebook friend of mine, whom I`ve never met, gifted me the T-shirt and a mug, with the same design on it. Franco. Ps, I`ve just paid my Drifter Rego, for another year.

As I recall, no time limit, to delete, for first class members! no delete function at all, for ordinary members and if there is, I can`t find it!!! Franco.

I`ve made mistakes a couple of times, when posting and really not happy that I couldn`t delete the post and start again! I prefer to be able to delete the post, myself! why the need for a moderator to delete? Franco.

Well I`ll be!!! a blast from the past. From top left! Bob Harris, Cecil Anderson, Gordon Bradley! bottom left, Geoff Yelaska and Franco Arri! a band I put together, 60 years ago, when I was 15 years old, that we called, 'The Crew', very popular at the time. Franco.

Another one I did this last 2 weekends! This is Lisa O`Mara, coordinator of the Mulgrave Landcare Group, who are doing a tree planting project, here on our property. As my wife Frances and I are no longer farming we decided to let 90ha of our 100ha property go back to nature, as we call it! 2 years ago the Mulgrave Landcare Group and the Wanyurr Majay, Aboriginal Corporation (traditional owners), started a tree planting project, here on our property and, to date, 15,000 native species trees, have been planted and the project is ongoing. Please note! at the end of the video, Lisa says "we flew through the clouds"! rest assured that we didn`t fly through any cloud, but we certainly did fly around some. Franco.

This lady in video is Natarsha! Natarsha, with her husband and daughter, moved into our area 4 years ago! She`d been watching me fly and thought that one day she would like to try! this last weekend she decide to have a go...You tell me if she enjoyed. We`ve had an enormous amount of rain, already this year and a couple of patches, on the strip were still a bit wet, but that`s nothing new for me to have to deal with! Franco.

This is what Sam said on facebook! I forgot to put it in my post. Sam Churchward Thanks so much! This was an incredible experience, the drifter is a joy to fly and you couldn't ask for more spectacular scenery.

In the last 2 weekends I`ve had 5 people wanting to experience Drifter flying with me! this is one of the flights I did. This is Sam Churchward and his partner, Taiga! Sam is from Melbourne! he`s a Commercial and also an RAA pilot. Sam found me on facebook and decided he wanted to have a fly of the Drifter, so, as he was flying up to Cairns for the weekend he took advantage of the situation, so I was able to take him and Tagia, flying. This was Sam`s first go at the Drifter! after I demonstrated a few stalls, I let Sam fly me around and I was quite impressed with his ability. Franco! https://youtu.be/0DtoG7zJFwk

G`Day Nev! I`ve flown the SB 582! the main difference between the Austflight Aviation built, SB 582 and the WB with a 582, is the SB usually comes with a large nose pod which makes it heaver and creates more drag! it really depends on how you want to fly! mine is the Austflight Aviation WB and I have the small nose pod! I want maneuverability. The Specterum Aviation WB Drifters built by Wane Fisher are usually lighter than the Austflight Drifters, but the one for sale has a full front bubble canopy, so, there`s no point trying to compare it to the Austflight Drifters, without first having flown it! I`ve never flown one. Franco.
