drifter45 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hello eveyone, my name is John and I've been wanting to fly as long as I can remember (early 1950's). I finally got the chance when a good mate gave me a TIF the day before my 58th birthday. I started training on a Foxbat with John Gardon at Flight North near Ballina who showed enormous patience to get me through to my certificate. I bought into a Drifter syndicate at YTHY and Wayne Fisher got me through the conversion. Been having a ball since. Hope to learn a great deal from all the folks on this forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddy-jake Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Welcome John, Great that you finally got out and did it. I learned in a Drifter with Farri. They are a fantastic machine. To say Farri was a brilliant instructor would be understating his talant. And your flying in some brilliant country. Safe flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
