gday All,
Saw this Buzzing around the harbour this morning. Not sure if he needs a Skippers ticket or a Pilots Lic .
Only saw him get up about 30 mts or so , cool to watch as he did a few laps around Vesty's

James the owner intends to bring it out for the beer can regatta. If you want to check it out. It is a hovercraft with wings that can fly at over 100km/h.
