In the second instalment of looking back at older photos for the archive we are remembering some of the launches and trips staff members have been involved in. If you want to check out the first instalment with work- do photos please refer to this link . There’s a mix here of older and newer photos over the last 20 years.
International work trips have included heading to the USA, Australia, Papua New Guinea, China, Japan, England, France, Canada and Italy - most recently in 2023 with three staff heading to the Mojave Desert. These trips have focussed around certification, prototyping and product development, and relationship building.
Flight Structures staff have attended many CAANZ Delegates Days, conferences in NZ and internationally, and hold our own in house sessions (one pictured at Waikato Stadium). Jon took some of our products to Perth in 2019.
In 2019 we celebrated Murray winning the EA Gibson Award for the Royal Aeronautical Engineering Society.
Product and aircraft launches included the Alpha Type Certificate in 2006 and the unveiling of IRU back in 2013.
We have hosted a few guests here in Hamilton - photos include team Merlin in 2022, the board of Westpac Rescue- Auckland in 2017 and Chinese Civil Aviation back in 2012.
As we move closer to our 20 year anniversary keep an eye out for more photos and more news.
