Unusual Aircraft at the Fly-In
Perhaps the most unusual aircraft to fly in for the Club's breakfast last weekend was a Velocity, which made it down from Arnprior. Certainly deserving of the description 'complex aircraft', this type features a pusher engine, canard foreplanes, swept wings and retractable undercarriage. As the name and appearance strongly suggest, this is a fast aircraft, with sustained cruise speeds in excess of 175 Knots. To really see this aircraft type to best advantage, watch this video compiled at Air Venture's Velocity Cook-Out.
