eightyknots Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Q1 I wonder how long before our Prime Minister will take up ultralight flying? Q2 Wouldn't it be nice if those in power took an active interest in light aircraft like Vladimir Putin did yesterday??

pylon500 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It was a publicity stunt and he wasn't actually flying (probably can't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew1975 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The federal minister for agriculture, joe Ludwig has been flying in my Brumby 610, he is a GA pilot and flies gluiders. So that's at least one minister from the aust federal government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q2, yep it would be nice if they took a genuine interest in our sport Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
