In early September Mick will be heading to Australia for the arrival of two “new” Cessna aircraft that we shipped a few months ago.  Both of these were our personal planes kept at the airport here in Georgia. 

If you’ve read the article published in Auto Pilot magazine about True Blue Skies, then you’ve heard the story about the 172 he bought back in 2005.  He plans to sell the 182 while in Australia, but wants to take advantage of having it there to do some R&D for a requested Aussie Winery tour that we will be putting together late 2009 or early 2010.  You can thank the McKeens for the idea!!!!  

Mick will also be flying into Melbourne to have a look at the Gippsland Aero (G8 Aero) factory and determining its use for families who want to tour with Australian Air Safaris, but need more seats and weight capacity.      We also hope to use these planes for custom group non-pilot tours.  Fortunately for Mick, he will be in Australia while the Australian Rules Football Grand Final is played this year.  It’s a pity his team finished thirteenth out of sixteen teams…or as he says, “Thirteenth from the top.”  Always the optimist.
