CLUB AIRCRAFT 24-5354 Jabiru J120 The club accepted delivery of 24-5354 on Wednesday 9th April 2008, making the '120' the new 'Little Jabi'. Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd released the 120 series onto the market early in 2008. The club saw the opportunity to upgrade to a new aircraft of a similar type to 55-0933, the club's first light sport aircraft. For only a little more than we paid for the first Jabiru, we now have a aircraft with zero engine and airframe hours, providing the same if not better performance than the original.
