| Welcome to my flying page. I started learning to fly GA back in 2006 at Jandakot in Western Australia... did about 10 hours then came back home to Adelaide, South Australia and it took me another 2 years before I began flying again. When I began the second time it was in Recreational Aviation and learning to fly at Murray Bridge and I have since then, had lots of fun. I achieved my Pilot Certificate in 3 months and then my Navigation (Cross-Country Endorsement) 6 weeks later and took my first long trip (2.5hrs) to Weekeroo, north of Murray Bridge (YMBD) a few days after that. |

| The rest is history... I have since flown
to Temora (via Hay) to collect my plane (July 2009), to Warrnambool (via Naracoorte)
to ferry a fellow pilot to collect his plane (which was flown from
Tassie across the Bass Strait - Aug 2009) and more recently to
Deniliquin NSW to collect a Jabiru for Lawrie (May 2010).
I've been to Lake Eyre and surrounding areas
(including Weekeroo, William Creek, Marree, Muloorina
Station), Arkaroola (several times including Lake Frome and a flight in
the Auster over Sillers Lookout, The Armchair, the Gorge and the village,
and again for Christmas 2009),
Kangaroo Island twice, and
now the Grampians. In 2010 I am
studying again having already passed
my Private Pilot's Licence (PPL) theory exam with 95% and obtaining both my RA-Aus Senior Instructor Rating and the Advanced Pilot Award.
I
am thoroughly enjoying sharing my
knowledge and skills with students and pilots alike at
Recreational
Pilots Academy (RPA) in Murray Bridge. Experience a
Trial
Instruction Flight today.... only $90 and an excellent gift idea for
a loved one - something for the 'bucket list' and don't forget about
Father's Day which is fast approaching. If you enjoy this site, let others know. If you have something to contribute, then let me know. My aim is for pilots and passengers who love flying to share their stories and escapades, along with listing places where we can fly with good accommodation, transport, food and activities nearby... so we can be social and participate in activities once we arrive at our chosen airfield. Check out the Travel to page for listings of up-coming trips as well as places to stay - come and join us soon - for a day trip to Kingston SE to eat at the Big Lobster for lunch hopefully sometime very soon (August). Let's have fun together and share our experiences and knowledge... let the aviation world of fun continue to grow! |
