farri Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Happy New Year, everyone! Just letting everyone know I`m still going strong, the Drifter is still in Demand and they just keep coming, wanting to experience Drifter flying, with me... I took up several people over the Christmas period! These guys are two of them. Fred is an airline Captain! He learnt to fly, with Peter Reid, in the Drifter at kooralbyn Valey, at 15 years of age! He has flown the A320, A330, B787 and currently flies the B747. Stephen is a Helicopter pilot, who flies workers out to oil rigs, off West Australia. Andrew Dunning, a facebook friend of mine, whom I`ve never met, gifted me the T-shirt and a mug, with the same design on it. Franco. Ps, I`ve just paid my Drifter Rego, for another year. 9 6
farri Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 Just some more guys, who wanted to experience Drifter flying with me, over the Christmas holidays! Alex is in the Royal Australian Air Force! He told me it was the most exhilerating flight he`d done! Being in the breeze, feeling free, did it for him. Lauren is a medical Doctor! Said she`d deffinately do it again! Amelia, Happy as! and Yes! I did make reference to Amelia Earhart, to her, and she did know of Amelia Earhart. Franco Ps, It`s the joy that those who fly with me in the Drifter experience, that keeps me wanting to do, what I do. Facebook 7 4

Stuart Perkins Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Hey mate, how's it going ??? Well very reluctantly I have decided to sell my two amazing Super Drifter 912s, as you know I operated very successfully my tourist seaplane operation and after 10 years have decided to call it a day and am involved in another aviation project ( watch this space !!) I have one on full amphibious floats and the other on straight floats, both full lotus. The aircraft have been meticulously maintained and look new still. They have full service history and are in tip top shape and ready to find new homes, if any here is interested they can reach to me ( or you) for more details, I have attached a couple of pics below. The aircraft are currently in the Philippines and operate from fresh water only, no sea. I also have a 2017 Challenger and a P&M Quik 912s flexwing ! Cheers Stu 3
