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.

Coming home from Arkaroola

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!
