Q: WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR ORDINARY WHEELS?

A: There’s not enough air in the tyres to let you float. If you want to land on the water – and take off again – you need more; you need floats.

That’s why Pete loves the amphibious microlights. You can take off and land wherever you like.

Pete was one of two experts who were globally head-hunted to fly amphibious Airborne trikes for the Alinghi syndicate’s America’s Cup challenge in Spain a few years ago.

You should try it!

Why would Pete take off in his own backyard when there’s a perfectly serviceable sealed runway right there?

BECAUSE HE CAN!! 😮

Out on Blowering Dam, having fun!

Your CFI/ CP (or is he now the Head of Operations (HoO)? I can’t keep up) Captain Pete Wilson has been awarded the Tumut Gold Tablet (to be flushed down with an appropriate beverage) for his amazing coup,.

Unlike any other pilot in the known universe he has managed to negotiate the opening of the Runway 35 end of the airport to allow access and egress to and from his residence.

This is not something that mere mortals can achieve, and against the stiff winds of opposition.

Palace insiders report he has declined elevation to the peerage, but will be satisfied with a knighthood.

All Hail!

Airescape has taken delivery of a Magni Gyro.

So much fun! We think it might be the start of something new.

Come and have a look! Stay to have a go!

There are some angles on the world you can only get from mid-air, and there are some angles from mid-air you can only get from a microlight or a gyrocopter.

In this case we did it in an amphibious microlight, and we’re about to go up, over and down to land on the water of Blowering Dam.
