Hi

 

I am new to this forum but not to aviation.

 

Recently retired as the Asst ARO YHML after seeing the upgrades of runways and lighting systems

 

and the transition to RNAV approaches, turning off the last symmetrical TVASIS in VIC/TAS which I maintained calibrated and flew until its demise...

 

Saw the last Ansett Friendship fly in and the first Metro with Kendall's and Sharp Airlines.'

 

Flying:

 

Abinitio at Warrnambool with Staywood Air in 1980

 

Bought a Reims Aerobat in 1981 and learned to fly it by June 1981

 

Bought an AVCON C150 with 160HP engine and learned to fly it IFR in 1987

21 renewals and some interesting CASA signatures in my logbook.

 

Obtained Airman's Licence at Merill Field Anchorage AK and flew out of Palmer AK 1997-1999 on floats and skis in a Maule M7.
