We've just concluded our 2008 Wills Wing Wallaby Demo Days and by all accounts this was our best event yet. The 2008 event was our 11th consecutive annual demo days at Wallaby and we celebrated our 35th anniversary at this year's event. We were fortunate to have Chris Wills and his parents, Bob and Maralys Wills in attendance this year, along with a huge crowd of pilots and family members. Chris gave a great video presentation of the early bamboo and plastic days when he and his brother Bobby and Chris Price were figuring out simultaneously how to design and fly early Rogallo type kites. Maralys even took a tandem flight on Sunday morning with Malcolm Jones.

During the four days from Wednesday through Saturday we have virtually perfect weather, and launched 656 aero tows. More than 75 pilots had multiple opportunities to take demo flights on our complete line of gliders. We wrapped up the official event with our traditional dinner party on Saturday night, and those with enough energy to continue on had live music and dancing late into the night.

Our most sincere thanks go out to everyone who made the trip to attend the event, (some from as far as Tahiti and Japan!), and most especially to Malcolm and the superb Wallaby staff who worked so hard to make the event possible, and to make it such a success!

I took a long weekend and went to WW Days at Wallaby. The whole Quest crew came by for the Saturday party. The flying was tremendous both Friday and Saturday with high base on Friday around 6000' and ridiculously easy to stay above 5000' all afternoon. On Saturday nights' party Rob Kells said they'd had something like 660 tows so far for the week without incident.

Pictures to follow.
