Brief Description: Introduction to my Steen Skybolt
About me...
I am a secondary school teacher who has a passion for aviation. I teach mathematics and aerospace studies and currently own a Jabiru J160. I have owned several aircraft and this is the third aircraft I have built. I have been flying for nearly 20 years and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have a very supportive wife and two lovely children and live in tropical North Queensland, Australia.
