Bundaberg’s Jabiru Aircraft has come on board as a major sponsor of Australian Aviation contributor Owen Zupp’s ‘There and Back’ initiative, providing an aircraft to undertake next year’s around Australia flight.
“The choice of the Australian built Jabiru J230 will make ‘There and Back’ a truly all-Australian flight,” said Owen.
The new build VH certified Jabiru J230 two-seater will enter production next year, and its construction will be followed on Owen’s website at www.thereandback.com.au.
The ‘There and Back’ around Australia flight will take place in May 2010 to commemorate the centenary of powered flight in Australia and to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
