Beautiful Comet Photo

Today I received a beautiful photo from Claudio in Italy - it's so good I wanted to share it with you all at Xmas.

Last chance checks before take off - the ploughed field behind emphasises an attractive rural airstrip in rolling countryside.  Claudio operates from a small airfield not too far from Milan. The photo shows Comet #53 registered as I-A363.

Grazie Caludio.


Merry Christmas to all the FK-12 Comet fans arond the World.

From Reunion to France - Comet #49

This week I received an interesting email from Sébastien in France - he has just taken delivery of Comet #49 and this is now part of his fleet at SkyOuest base at the airfield at Ploermal-Loyat a few miles to the west of Rennes.

FK-12 Comet #49 F-JMBS back in France 2012

This Comet was originally built in 2002 and delivered to Papangue ULM based on the Reunion Isles ( Dept 974 ) far away in the Indian ocean.  The Comet was painted in a yellow and blue colour scheme and registered locally as "974-GJ" operating scenic flights over the volcanoes and tropical beaches of Renuion.

A Comet arrives in Alsace

Today I had an email from Martin W a proud new Comet owner.  Martin recently bought a second hand FK-12 Comet. Before delivery the aircraft was overhauled and also repainted by FK Lightplanes at Speyer. Martin had his first solo flight in his new Comet on 4th May 2012 - congratulations!

This FK-12 will now be based at Vieux-Ferrette airfield ( LF6822 ) in the Haur-Rhin region of Alsace in eastern France ( near the Swiss border ). The Comet is now registered as F-JTOO.

Enjoy your flying.

Another new Comet

FK Lightplanes recently delivered this new FK-12 Comet to a customer in Germany - registered as D-MDMC this Comet was exhibited ( with no registration markings ) at the Aero 2011 trade show earlier in 2011.

After the show the aircraft returned to the FK factory at Krosno, Poland for final completion.  Note the revised wingtips. This photo shows the Comet at the FK delivery centre at Speyer, Germany.

With thanks to the marketing team at FK.

Comet Race complete in Italy - July 2010

The painting of FK-12 Comet # 085 is now complete. This aircraft is the first to be painted in the "Comet Race" colour scheme designed by Aircraft Studio Design and Aviema of Italy.

The finished aircraft looks fantastic.

Swiss FK-12 Comet Project c/n 82

I'd like to thank Urs Spuler of Switzerland for providing news about FK-12 Comet c/n 82.

Urs took delivery of this FK-12 Comet factory supplied kit aircraft in summer 2007 - the photo below shows the fuselage frame of Comet c/n 82 on the roof of his car at the FK Protech production facility at Krosno, Poland ready to start the journey home to Switzerland.

Urs is building his Comet in the garage of his home and he is hoping to have it ready to fly by 2012.

This will be the first Comet in Switzerland.
