After recovering from the spin(s) John returned and gave further flying away for the day The next day the JG-2 was flown to 10,000' for flight envelope tests returning 30 minutes later with smiles all around for everyone in attendanceFull story from AirCentre Aviation Newshttp://www.aircentre.com.au/... from Channel 9 Australiahttp://video.google.com/vide...

The airport was closed to air traffic for a short period but there was minimal disruption to scheduled services with only one flight delayed in arriving by around 10 minutes.”John Stewart, head of training at Tayside Aviation, said, “It was a minor incident, but the female pilot is not hurt and the aircraft only has minor damage—I’m sure they will both be flying in the air again in a few days.”
