Skippy22 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi, New to Just Landed. Are about 4 hours into training now in a Jabaru 120. My husband and I are learning together and tend to help each other out a bit. Hubby in early fifties, I in late forties. Longterm dream is to own our aircraft hangared on our farm. Been in and had a look around here before but now getting around to posting. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgmwa Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi and welcome from another West Australian. I haven't been here that long either, but it's a great site. Sounds like you've already got a runway, so I'm sure you'll get that aircraft before too long. Good luck to both of you with your flying. rgmwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightyknots Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Welcome to you and your husband. I started flight training this week. I had my first 'ground' lesson and the next one is in about ten days time. I hope you both go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy22 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi Kevin, Just a typo on the Jabiru spelling! Not quite up to airstrip stage yet but got plenty of room here so should not be too hard when the time comes, hubby already thinking about that so would welcome you. Never know ONEDAY we might get over there in something other than a commercial plane. Hubby is a ex South Aussie. We pretty friendly lot over here in rural areas, trying to get the local aero club up and going with a few more members, have the ex shire airstrip so partly there.

Guest Minifn Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hello and welcome, good luck for yourself and Hubby, in your flying training I started with my partner but she never went past solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howard Hughes Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Welcome, you guys are really lucky, none of my wives would even get in a light aircraft, let alone learn to fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naremman Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Welcome to aviation. Hope you are finding that life now has a new dimension. Great to learn with your husband. My late first wife also gained her PPL and we shared many aviation adventures, meeting many new friends, seeing new sights, and sometimes ending up in places that we never intented to visit (usually weather related, not navigational misadventure). I have just gained RAA pilot certification after 37 years GA experience, and was quite impressed with the Jab 160 as a training aircraft. My daughter has learned to fly on a Jab 160 and I thought it was a good idea to gain RAA certification so that we might fly together. I hope that the Skippy username is not applicable to your landings!!. May they all be greasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi, Longterm dream is to own our aircraft hangared on our farm. Cheers Skippy and keep the dream alive,I`ve been flying off my own property for 25 years now,the freedom to be able to do this is something that I`m sure every pilot dreams about. Future goal.......When you fly up to the Cairns area,please call in,no landing fees and warm welcome waiting. Cheers, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Good to hear you are learning to fly. I am also learning to fly in a Jabiru 120 and did my first solo last weekend, awsome stuff. We have a piper to rebuild, and we have our own strip but need to build the hanger in our spare time. We live in a fairly remote area. Your learning will be rewarded when you go solo!!
