A citizen of the Commonwealth, Joe has variously lived in New Zealand and the UK and currently finds himself inexplicably in small-town Canada, a strange outcome that he hopes one day to remedy. Joe owns and flies AG-5B C-FBLY out of CYXU. The flying in that part of the world is at least very good.

C-FBLY is a 1992 Grumman Tiger that was originally imported to Canada from the US by Roger Nickel in Kamloops, BC. The distinctive paint job is all his, as is the meticulous attention to detail in the aircraft's documentation and general state of health. Joe bought C-FBLY from Roger in January 2017 and flew it back across the country to Ontario in two days of mysteriously compliant weather with Andrew Barr, who at that time was a flight instructor at the St Thomas Flight Centre at CYQS. Andrew has since disappeared off to Manitoba to fly for a northern airline.

C-FBLY spent the end of 2017 having her panel completely replaced using exciting modern components that are constructed apparently completely out of money. At the time of writing (January 2018) that financial adventure is coming to an end, and flight testing is expected to start any week now.

C-FBLY is lovingly maintained by the experts at [Purple Hill Air] and [Tailwind Aviation].
