JollyWalter Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well I'm finally in the air after many (many) years of talking about it. I'm a 'closer to 50 than 40' new student pilot with 2 hours in the log book (Cessna 152 Aerobat) and absolutely loving it. I've recently been scouring and devouring everything general-aviation related on the net and happily came across this site with plenty of enthusiastic pilots and would-be pilots like myself, even a few from my local aerodrome of Jandakot in WA. Looking forward to reading about what's going on with you all and maybe getting a few tips. Cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Decca Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi Mick. Welcome to our flying forums. Lots to learn, just keep the motivation & interest going because the more you learn, the more you find there is to learn. Regards, Decca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyWalter Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Thanks, Decca. Anticipating no issues with lack of motivation or interest here. I find the theory and the reading almost as enjoyable as the flying. But not quite! Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Decca Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Great news, Mick. BlackRod's short story response is just typical of the attitude here! Decca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mike_perth Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Welcome Mick Good to see another West Aussie amongst us!! Dont worry that 2 hours will soon be 20 and then 50! Ive just finished my ppl and my wife and I are going for a quick flight around the city and Kings Park tomorrow! She has never been in a light aircraft - we could have taken a two seater but Ive booked a 4 seater (Piper Warrior) with the hope she'll feel a bit more comfortable in the "bigger" aircraft! Good Luck and Enjoy! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyWalter Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ive just finished my ppl... Good one Mike. The PPL seems such a long way away for me. And getting my partner to get in a plane with me is even further off. Hope you enjoy that flight. I know I will when I finally get there.
