Guest Crash Lander Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi! I'm Crash Lander (by name, not by nature! Hopefully!) I'm about to start flight training in the next 2 months or so, and thought I'd drop by and see what everyone else is talking about. I'll most likely be doing my training at Barwon Heads, in their Gazelle. I've been told that the RA certificate is really all you need if a) you are short of cash, b) Won't fly more than maybe 10 times a year, c) you aren't going to be doing aerobatics. Plus, it's a hell of a lot cheaper, and that's good for me! :-) Anyway, Hi, and nice to meet you ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixtiesrelic Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Geday Crash, Good choice of the branch of aviation to learn in, both from the price and the fun factor. Good forum where you don't get bagged for asking questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Crash Lander Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 P.S. Don't let my name get to you, I couldn't hurt a Fly. :lol: :lol: No worries Uncle Chop Chop! If you get out of hand, I'll just take you for a flight, and try and live up to my name! That'll sort you out! :-) Besides, if what I hear is correct, the REAL Uncle Chop Chop only hurt guys that deserved it, so I have nothing to worry about! :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixtiesrelic Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 People in aviation are like birds. A small number float effortlessly upon the air, like the albatross. Many THINK they soar like the eagle. A lot lurch through the air flappin' their wings like buggery and making lots of noise about it, like the pidgeon. There's lots of other birds you can see in pilots. THEN there's the roosters. Can't fly at all They puff 'emselves up, flap their wings, strut importantly round thinkin' they're impressing the hens and herocaly hurl abuse at the far off roosters from the security of the enclosed chookyard. The roosters take over forums, piss the real people off and The Aussie Aviator lands up getting the good guys who want to be able to enjoy talkin' to like minded enthusiasts and can get answers to their queries. DEATH to the roosters... don't let 'em stay if they appear here Glenn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
