A visit from JAS


As a bunch of pilots and aspiring wannabees at FTC George it's always exciting when something new, or more specifically, a new aircraft is seen near or at the hangars. Recently, we had the pleasure of a visit from Stew Lithgow in his and Johnny Woods new RV-7, registration ZU - J A S (Johnny and Stew) as he ferried it from Cape Town to Pretoria. It really is a beauty to look at and by the smile on Stew's face as he arrived, I would assume to fly too! Peering into the cockpit,
I saw two handheld Garmins on the passenger seat, clearly Stew was still coming to grips with the full glass cockpit, which only serves to compliment the rest of the aircraft. From my side, thanks to Stew for taking the time to swing by the FTC hangars. Wishing you many happy flying hours in your beauty!
