Maiden flight of Hunter VH-FRH flew from Archerfield to Oakey Army Base. John Baines was flying and for the 20 minutes it took on the initial flight. Arriving just after 6pm at Oakey. All went well and we had a few drinks to celebrate. The following day John did another flight to further our flight testing and was quite happy with the outcome.
Since the initial flights Rick Lea has done a number of flights for further testing and to refine his aerobatic skills. We are now looking at a permanent base to operate from. Kingaroy looks very favourable at this time. We are proceeding to promote the aircraft for future air shows sponsorship and military contracting. The twin seater VH-XHH should be operational within the next few months.
