The GP One trundles away in a container Five minutes from coming thru the gate until leaving. That's all it took to load the shipping container onto the transport truck today. A brief exchange of pleasantries between the driver and I, an identification seal being placed on the door, a bit of slick remote-controlled hydraulic legs and lifters action, a three-point turn, then the Skyleader GP One light sport aircraft was gone.
On Thursday it will be on a ship from Bluff to Brisbane. After being unloaded and re-assembled by its new owner, the GP One will be re-certified by CASA. Finally it will be flown 520km (350nM) to its new home near Rockhampton.
