Yeah thanks Dazza. Allready having a ball.Welcome David, I hop you enjoy it here and also your Training.
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.Jesus mate, does he need any more employee's, my old boss had a 94 single cab hilux!!
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.Welcome Grungle... Gotta love the economic climate in Mackay... there is us mortals and then there are those who seem to have the big income and the aeroplane fetish... lolI have just soloed with Matts Ra-Aus flying school based at Palmyra... We will have to catch up. It is good to see so many of us popping up all across this region with an interest in recreational flying. Would be nice to not be strangers with the GA boys out of the main airport...Winsor68
Drop us a PM anytime. Would be great to catch up sometime.
Regards

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

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
