• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

Boomer Fly'n

It's been far too long since I last got this thing aloft. Kermit Weeks currently has a Boomerang under restoration in Australia which will be the only true Boomerang flying in the US when completed, so I took a flight with Flight Replica's Boomerang around Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight in Florida. Like flying a hotrod T-6. Hope you enjoy the shots!







 
Here are some photos from the last several months of Kermit Weeks' Boomerang being restored/built (obviously all new wood) at Matt Denning's shop in Australia.





 
There are also a great many other Boomerang projects currently under restoration in Australia (as many as 9-10 currently under restoration to fly):

At present there are two flying examples in the world (both based in Australia and both having been restored by Matt Denning), and one full-scale look-alike, built with all metal construction, based in Belgium (was based in California prior to being sold last year).
