FLYING
FASCINATION 5/97
More
than 400 kits of the British kit aircraft Europa have
already been delivered worldwide. For people with some
craft skill, this aircraft is a reasonable way to an
affordable two-seater. The kit costs approximately 38000
Marks. The engine must be purchased extra.
The
name Mooney stands for fast aircraft. The Mooney TLS, the
flagship of the manufacturer from Texas, now flies as
Bravo with a modified engine. The 200-knots plus
single-engine aircraft is available for just under
$400000.

standard class aircraft is located.
Competitions
with spectacular arrivals are always a good subject for
fascinating photos. On this photo, a Discus passes over
the finish line trailing a long water spray. The photo
was taken during the world championships in Omarama with
the New Zealand Alps in the background.
