    Plane Washing-Caloundra

    It's a shame you don't live a bit south of Brisbane Sean, I'd give you some paid work helping me build DooMaw, and teach you some valuable aviation-related skills at the same time, and you would get to fly the plane when it's done. Why would I do that? Because I don't think there are enough younger folk with get-up-and-go these days, and I'd love to encourage more of it.The point is, if I would do that, so will many others, so do as Robbo suggested above. I know of a number of commercial pilots who started their careers with no money but by walking into an aviation maintenance facility and asking if they could sweep the floor for free - just so they could see some planes up close. In all cases the answer was 'no' funnily enough, so they went back the next day and asked the same question, and the same each day until inevitably the owner saw the determination and they started work that day.

     

    Good luck Sean, nothing other than Persistence and Determination will guarantee you a job in aviation.

    If you ever fly into Caloundra, Let me know. I would love to see it!

    Hi Sean, I think what Myria is getting at is that even though you are not doing it commercially, you will still need insurance incase something is damaged. It is unfortunately the way the modern world is with litigation etc.

    Thanks Dazza,

    Very True, If I End up Accidentally Breaking or damaging Something, It will nearly cost my whole flight training!

     

    Thanks Sean,
