Project 1.  Fund raise to purchase Motor Glider

 

The Pegasus Flying Trust is currently raising funds to purchase this Motor Glider Grob 109a from its current owner.

The owners have agreed to lease the glider with the view of selling it to the Pegasus Flying Trust,providing that the Trust maintans the upkeep of it in a flying condition once they take possession.


This is in a form of a dry lease, where the Trust must take care of all its operational issues of the motor glider.
 

We are hoping that we can attract a sponsor or organisation who will assist us with sufficent funds to allow the Trust to purchase it.

Project 2 - Hangar-our home
 

The Hangar we are wishing to raise funds for.It is of simple construction seen here in this example to allow us to finish it off.

 

The intended hangar will be able to fit the motor glider and easy to pull the

aircraft in and out as well as store our new Aircraft ground trainer and flight simulator for ATC cadets to use.

 

We are at last 2017, "got a HANGER" on Base Auckland with thanks to the ASC and the RNZAF.

After a lot of negotiation" 2 years" our need is becoming to a reality. The hangar was supposed to have been relocated  4 months ago and understand this will now happen this month ending July 2017.Since we have been storing the Gron in the open,it has cost the  Trust a lot of wear and tear operational issues, so we are all overjoyed with this good news, so again can anyone help,if so please contact us on our  contacts email or pegasus.flying@mail.com..Thanks!

A quick update for 2022 on the hanger at Whenuapai Airbase is that the concrete floor was laid by Ivan Waters Concrete Contractors in 2020 and shortly thereafter Pegasus moved the aircraft into the hangar and now operates from there very regularly.
