Old Koreelah Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Welcome, 409. You seem to be slap bang in the middle of our demographic. You'll find this forum a bit like Wikipedia- a great source of information, much of it provided by enthusiastic amateurs, but there are many highly-qualified and experienced flyers on here as well. No doubt you have a story to tell about past aviating and what brought you to this forum. Something else fascinates me: where people get their handle from. Mine is from the valley I grew up in.

Butch Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 HI 409, Welcome, like you I waited for the kids to grow up and pay all the debts. A few months ago passed my restricted RAA licence in a Tecnam P92. Just started Nav and should have that in a month or so. Good luck with your flying, I hope you enjoy as much as I have, cheers Butch. PS.... this forum is great....have learnt so much from reading all the posts.
