Mustang Flights joins HARS for WOI 2010

benmorgan — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:09:26 +0000

HARS welcomed the Mustang Flights team from Queensland, arriving to help celebrate Wings Over Illawarra 2010 with their own special brand of aviation. The familiar and immediately recognisable sound of the P51 Mustang filled the skies of Albion Park Airport as they displayed their historic WW2 machine.

HARS members Brian Kelley and Bill Andronicos couldnt resist the temptation, each taking part in an exciting adventure flight in the CAC Mustang.

The Mustang Flights team will be returning to Albion Park on Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th March 2010, so if you’re interested in being part of history, come on down and talk to the Mustang Flights team about taking an adventure flight. CALL 0415 577 724 to make a booking.

Thank you again Mustang Flights. Images courtesy of: http://www.aviationadvertiser.com.au
