Looking at some of pictures it looks like they came in hard. A lot of schools use DA40 was it a training flight?

it did have number behind the flaps on the fuse. I was sitting in the lounge so it was a bit hard to get a clear picture.

Getting this Savannnah ready to fly.

Actually banging helps me get a good night's sleep.

RIP brother pilots

Nice to see they made it

How did you loose 13kgin two weeks

One of the issues i find being on the larger size with flying is when a fellow pilot invites you to go flying and you have to decline as you will most likely put his aircraft over MTOW

I found out a few years ago i had sleep a disorder after talking to my doctor he suggested the sleep study and so i now have a sleep machine. they are worth it. I tried to get my class 2 back a few years ago but then decided that i didn't want to play there game.

Hi if the owner of this savannah is a forum member. here is a pic of you aircraft i snapped in 2011 at gympie

In the case of flying schools and clubs, quite often the offender gets away scot-free, but the next person to hire the now weakened airframe loses his life in mild turbulence.

I've done the trip Laverton (WA) to Yulara (Ayres Rock) a few times. You can fly direct over double tiger country, or go via Warburton Range and be over a frequently used road for most of the trip. The difference is about 15 minutes at 120 kts - or your life perhaps.I'm also reminded of my yellow streak when looking at my logbook entries for crossing Torres Strait. The 4 ferry flights I did from PNG to Aus were via every island between Saibai and Horn Is, (and that was in the days before most of them had strips).

 

happy days,

Yes same here pull the power off at random places and see if you can make the runway. I have watched one of the forum members YouTube videos he flys a gt500 he keeps his pattern work high and tight

Welcome to the forum Jim

Well tom hardy's shooting and his glide went for a long time.

Yep i went and saw the movie. And yes they used the the spanish version. who knows how many second a spitfires guns would fire if you held the trigger till they ran out of bullets

Ok i am thinking of seeing the movie today. I will be able to get a better look.

I haven't seen the movie but i heard they used 109G and maybe a 109K,

That drifter now has a good home.

The detail is awesome

I sure we all sit there with our wives at the movies and say that's not real and that plane would never take off like that

Looks like the problem is such a large capital investment in an aircraft, I see on this thread a school hires its Lightwing at $150 per hour.A number of schools have a $150k aircraft..... do your sums as to what the interest and redemption will be. Then do the exercise on a $30k aircraft.

To me it would be better with the little war horse instead of the fancy expensive thing.

I get the feeling the some of your more flash training school don't want people who already know how to fly. I had one encounter where i asked about booking an aircraft and they informed me i would have to be checked out.I informed them i was already and had only flown a week ago he then responded that they don't do private hire only supervised solo.

Poor guy
