History.
Purchased in 1997, Jandakot, WA as a rebuild project
completely stripped and rebuilt over a period of seven years at Noarlunga and
than hangared at Aldinga.
January this year we started flying Warbird adventure
joy flights from Parafield.
On May 12, Ed Herring observed Nanchang aerobatics
over Parafield. It was very ably flown by Mike Holtby, during filming for
Channel 7 Discover SA..
Mike, a club member and part creditor of SAAA Chapter
17’s RV4, is very impressed with the Nanchang’s performance and loves to fly
it.
