I'm from Holland originally, but I've been working on offshore vessels all around the world for quite a few years now.

Hi everyone, After a bit of a false start in Australian aviation it's looking like I'll be getting my PPL flight test done sometime soon; so I reckon I best introduce myself here before they send me off into the wild on my own :) It has taken me a couple of years to get here, I work on a ship and for every new contract the flying goes on hold for 2-3 months, with a fair bit of revision after each trip to get from nautical into aeronautical mode again. Moved down to the Sunshine coast and finaly got the chance to fulfill an old dream and learn how to fly (in my old home country class A airspace starts at 1200ft and Avgas is around $4 a liter so it wasn't really an option there). Didn't quite fit in the local RA-Aus schools' aircraft so I ended up biting the bullet and going for GA route instead of the RA-Aus way. Can't wait to get some pan-Australian touring done once I get my licence! See ya around, Ev
