  1. Not today. We flew yesterday at 9-11am and will be flying tomorrow between 8-10am (there are 2 of us learning from work). We are trying for Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's weather permitting (which is not very permitting at the moment). I know there is another 150 due in this week which was bought by someone just starting their lessons as well. Our 150 is pretty easy to spot. VH-RXJ with red and blue stripes down the side and a Nixon Communications emblem on the tail. Regards David
  2. Yeah thanks Dazza. Allready having a ball. If your a radio tech that doesn't mind a couple of days at the mines then I'll hire you now! Lucky to have a great boss - has been egging me to do it for a while so couldn't refuse his offer. Not wrong Mr Winsor. Ride the wave while you can. I run a radio communications company so there is ample work at the moment. My boss, the owner of the company, has a strangle hold on the communications for pipeline, road and rail so flies all over Australia supporting the various projects he has. Sometimes he spends 30+ hours a week flying his 210 over to WA, down to SA, Brisbane and back to Gladstone. That is the main reason for the Jet so he can halve his travel time and carry more at the same time. Drop us a PM anytime. Would be great to catch up sometime. Regards David
  3. Hi All, Just found the site. Only new to flying with 4 lessons under my belt but loving every minute. Lucky that my boss has 4 aircraft and has generously donated a Cessna 150 to us to learn to fly in (myself and my project manager). Small but adequate until we get to the stage where we can expand on other types. He also has a 182, 210 and just recently aquired a jet which he is currently learning to fly in the States (not sure what type yet). Based in Mackay, glad all this rain is finally slowing up enough to fit in 2-3 lessons a week (all covered through work). Hoping to find a lot of good info and tips on the site to help with the course. Looking for some excel spreadsheets to assist with flight planning, ATIS info etc so maybe someone can suggest a link to peruse. Will start searching through the site but there is so much information to process at the moment so only taking slowly. Cheers David
