Squeezing the most out of life!

John Dean - 90 years young and still enjoying life!



















The team from Speedhawk were privileged to have met an inspirational man in Broken Hill on the weekend! John Dean who turns 90 on the 1st of July this year arrived at the Aero Club of Broken Hill for a flight in the Extra 300L.

John's wife, Ann, who was quite nervous about her husband's participation in an extreme activity such as Aerobatics was content to sit in the car with her eyes shut tight and not watch the flight. With some coaxing from John, Ann came into the Aero Club and began to feel more at ease after meeting the Speedhawk team and listening to the flight briefing from pilot, Lars.

As John settled himself into the Extra 300L and prepared for his flight, wife Ann, was happily by her husband's side taking photographs and was very excited to watch her husband perform aerobatic manoeuvres such as slow rolls, stall turns, barrel rolls and even inverted flight across the skies of Broken Hill.

Thank you John and Ann for proving that you're never too old to try new experiences!

Arrival Broken Hill

Wow, what a day today. Had to wait for a break in the weather from Melbourne. Sure enough, the rain let us have a little window and Hawk was off to Swan Hill, then onto Broken Hill. A nice tailwind all the way, made up for the 'cooler cockpit' environment!!
A couple of rides at Broken Hill this afternoon were conducted and big smiles all around by all!
The Hawk team have a radio interview in the morning, then back at at Broken Hill airport for a few more rides.. .. Looking forward to tomorrow!!
