Hi All, I've been very fortunate to have an Australian aircraft manufacturer come on board and provide an aircraft for next year's charity flight. Here's a Press Release relating to the aircraft and the flight around Australia next year. Cheers Owen The team at ‘There and Back’ is proud to announce that Jabiru Aircraft of Bundaberg Australia has come on board as a major sponsor, providing an aircraft from the Jabiru range to undertake next year’s around Australia flight. The aircraft will be a Jabiru J230 and its production will commence in the new year. The subsequent construction of the aircraft will be able to be followed on the website at There and Back ‘There and Back’ is an around Australia flight taking place in July 2010 to commemorate the centenary of powered flight in Australia and raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The choice of the Australian built Jabiru J230 will make ‘There and Back’ a truly all-Australian flight. __________________
