PJ's First Day Out

Saturday 22-Aug-09
  

Steve Chapman's newly acquired VH-GPJ (a 1966 Australian built Edmund Schneider ES-59 Arrow) had her  first day out at Caboolture Airfield today. More correctly, it was her first day out at Caboolture Airfield for some time ... she had a prior life as a member of CGC's fleet and has a special place as the first single-seater to be flown by many CGC trained glider pilots.
