Significant repair, Up-date No 1

As you know, our Connie will not be flying this year due to a significant corrosion repair. The Federal Office for Civil Aviation (FOCA) has been involved in this repair from the beginning and we have to conduct different clarifications, which are time consuming. However, we are convinced that we will repair the Connie according to the regulations, and that she will fly again for you – provided that we can raise the very high amount for the repair. We are positive that you also understood that we asked you to pay the membership without yet sending the appeal for funds to you.

The member card 2010 entitles you during this year to fly with our sister airplane, Francisco Agullo’s DC-3 (please see the enclosed comprehensive flight program in the menu point Flight Program), as well as 25% discount on all souvenir articles, be it online or at our own stand. With our stand – including a motivated selling team - we will be present at many airshows and will inform you about date and place continuously on our homepage „Agenda“.
