On Sunday, December 3, David, of “Brownleigh” Moree, departed from Moree’s Aerodrome’s Runway 19 at 07:09 am, in light SSW winds, flying a perfect circuit in perfect weather.
Chief flying instructor Fred Nolan commended the youngster on his perfect circuit.
“Dave will be the third generation pilot from the well-known Moree Burey family, following in the footsteps of his grandfather John and his Dad, Geoff.
“He is a step closer to flying the family Cessna 182 airplane VH-KAT, parked in the Brownleigh shed,” Mr Nolan said.
