Guest airsick Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Welcome aboard Harry, I hope you find the forums fun and educational and also hope that you can see the fun in 'ultralighting'. PS. I still haven't got my RA pilot certificate but want to. Am I a dinosaur too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Bear Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hear hear. I'll shout you a beer on the weekend Captain :yin_yan: Now Ian, I'm always getting in trouble here. You get that after my amount of posts How a little bit more of this :yin_yan: and a little bit less of whether we call it ultralights, recreational aviation, auf, raa, cia, kgb etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yharry Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 thanks for the welcome thanks blueshed, airsick and donkey. some of you may have seen my other posts on this forum. for your info, i only joined to be able to access those in the know to prevent email notifications about aircraft crashes being sent to my dead mates wife. seems that he wasn't registered to this site, from the information from those in the know. i don't want any more dead. thank you and safe travels harry. and rather than carry on a silly scrap here, pm me and i will talk to you on the phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 A rose by by any other name is but a rose. Hi All, I come from the early days of the AUF.when our aircraft were called Ultralights. I`ve never objected to changing our name to the RAA, however, I believe it`s not so much the aircraft we fly or the name we choose that give us a bad name ,it`s some of the pilots who fly them and the way they fly. We can call our organization what ever we like but the best way to improve our image is to be better pilots and reduce the accident rate. It appears to me that even with better rules and better training and aircraft,that we now have,the accident rate is still,just too high. I have flow many types,from a Scout to the Zenair 701 and I still choose to own and fly a 95-25 Maxair Drifter because I fly for fun and I don`t realy care what anyone chooses to call it. Regards, farri. :rotary: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
