damoski Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum; I actually came across it a while ago, but didn't realise it had a strong ( :-) ) Australian user base because of the .net forum domain. Anyway, I've recently moved to Sydney from London, and was looking for a forum that was active for RAAus members; looks like I've found one. I'm currently flying with a club out of The Oaks airfield, and hoping to find a syndicate somewhere close to Sydney as soon as I get my RAA Endorsement (I'm NPPL(M) certified in the UK, and a BMAA Member). Cheers! Damo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshed Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi Damo Welcome to the forums and Australia, we are west of Sydney at Temora and the Museum has a flying day here to day. At least the Tiger , Spitfire and Sabre will be flying, not sure what else will be thrown in! Should come for a look! Cheers Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidh10 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Welcome to Oz and the forums, Damo. I think you will enjoy the forums, and you should be able to catch up with other forum members who fly out of The Oaks. Unfortunately, I've just noticed that since the new forum software has been implemented, the "Airfield" field that used to appear with other metadata under the member's name has gone and the data that was in that field has moved to the "About You" field, which is only shown when you look at a Member's Profile. Anyway, do a search on "Oaks" and you will turn up quite a lot of posts that reference the airfield and thus you could identify members who fly there.

damoski Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Cheers David! I'll take a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damoski Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi Guy, Unfortunately I don't have a car at present, so even The Oaks is a pretty far journey for me! :-) If I ever get my Nav endorsement, and a plane!, then Temora will be on my list.

farri Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 G`Day Damo and !!! I`m RAA endorsed and ( NFWYQ )!!! Cheers, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damoski Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Went solo today; perfect, still conditions. Not that it's a big claim to go solo when you're a qualified pilot, but it was my first time in Aus under RAA; hopefully the endorsement will follow not too far behind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidh10 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Sounds like you are on your way. All the best, and congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sounds like you are on your way. All the best, and congratulations. Welcome Damo, you'd certainly find The Oaks cheaper than my old stoping ground Biggin Hill or Shoreham. Welcome to Oz, and hopefully i'll catch up with you one day at The Oaks. They're a top bunch of guys out there. Rgds Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damoski Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi Alan - yep, I know them. I guess Camden would compare to those. I used to fly out of Damyns Hall - top place before the council reined them in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damoski Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Ok, passed my certification flight with the CFI yesterday - application is in the, um, fax. Next is Passenger and Nav (already UK certified, so hopefully also quick), and then I need to do some real flying :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest turnbase Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Congrats!!!!! most of us mere mortals took a little longer to accomplish what you have done in a matter of weeks. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damoski Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thanks guys! RAA Pilot licence received, and it sounds like I might get a Navex trial-by-fire on Monday to get the Nav endorsement... :thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
