The United Kingdom's AAIB (Air Accidents Investigation Branch) released its report today on the accident which occurred on 22 August 2009 at the World Aerobatic Championships in Silverstone, UK. The accident claimed the life of US Aerobatic Team pilot Vicki Cruse. The report has been long awaited in the aerobatic community.

The accident was the first fatality to occur in a World Aerobatic Championships in power aerobatics since Leon Biancotto lost his life in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia in practice just prior to the first WAC in 1960.

This is a VERY reluctant sale, as I'm downsizing my life, and relocating.

Machine 1 is a Durkopp 3 in 1 (straight stitch, zigzag/bartack), needs a good service as has not been used in a while and has been transported a couple of times between services.

Machine 2 is a Singer 212, twin needle, also needs a good service, can easily be retrofitted for Parachuting standard parallel stitch width.

I'm selling both machines (preferably as a JOB LOT), AS IS, buyer pays shipping. Both machines are located on the Gold Coast.... (cost of shipping to me from Melbourne a few years ago was $150)

ASKING PRICE FOR JOB LOT - $1450.00

If you wish to MAKE AN OFFER ON EITHER MACHINE, I will consider. Pics to follow very soon.

The cats over at the Ground Rush Air Sports recently posted a very speedflying cool video on their blog. To save you from wearing out your clicky-button, we have simply put it here below.
Lots of cool flying, plus their interesting take on why speedflying is really very well suited to both skydiving and paragliding pilots alike.

I have an as-new Smith Holt snowboarding helmet (matte white, 58-60cm) sitting in my board bag.. I only got it because they are compulsory in comps, but after fracturing/crushing my back a couple times I let go any notions of a snowboarding career!
I've seen a few folks about using snowboarding helmets so thought someone on here could use this.. they retail for $170, make me an offer!
