RKW

A good letter, Simonflyer. Like so many recreational pursuits, it is a minority that seem to go out of their way to stuff it for everyone else. There is no reason why an RA pilot cannot attain the same standards of proficiency and professionalism as a GA pilot. RA aircraft often require a greater degree of skill to fly than GA aircraft! We owe it to ourselves and our fellow aviators to maintain high standards. Regards, Bob

Runups on the runway! just another example of anti-social behaviour. I hope we never have to get used to it!

Hi Garth, Since flying is still in your blood, you may be interested in the open day at Caboolture this Sunday 2nd August. Come and indulge the passion! Cheers, Bob

Welcome Palm. Good luck with your GFPT:welcome: Cheers, Bob

Isn't that paw in mouth. Regards, Bob

Good onya Thruster, that IS the real deal! Serves me right for beating about the bush!! Regards, Bob

I meant P&W R1830's Regards, Bob

Good to see the old girl still has some life in her. She would look better with a pair of P&W's or Cyclones.;) Regards, Bob

Good one, Kev. Similar experience to myself. "Second" first solo after about 30 years. Even better than first time round! Now all you need is your own J160 and a hanger to put it in. Best Regards, Bob

Hi to all, Just recently got my RA Cert. I have a PPL from 30 years ago but had not been flying for a long time. It was almost like starting from scratch! Much praise for patient instructor!!! Kind Regards, Bob

Hello Matt, Barry was also one of my instructors about 30 years ago. It is very sad. There is probably no other pilot in Australia with his flying hours. Kind Regards, Bob
