Has to be! - with the quality of "19" builds around it's a shame we can't use them for other than owner training. Working on this IMHO would be far more useful than other fish we are trying to fry!

Sorry Mike, just posted an up date in the sister thread to this. My S get's painted tomorrow and should??? be here by December.

Well guys mine should be here before Christmas all going well at the docks and with the Italian promise concept. Plan will be to offer Dual STOL training and Ab Initio in it.

LSA= Low Silent Arrival, well done! Another Jab test pilot get's their wings. Glad to hear good skills and correct training got you down safe.

Well done mate, did you solo it? Your post doesn't say... There,s anew resident 170 at ycab now too.good tailwheel - equals currency!

Top post Tex, thanks for contributing to this now very informative thread!!

It was the end of the day, the boys were calling last drinks, and the big girl just called out my name! What a ride, just a big Savannah with double wings and a lot of Russian attitude. Even got the co-pilots slot. Vodka shots for all!!

Neil, I went round to hangar 10, but you wernt there. Maybe next time. Ryan Sorry Ryan, was caught up teaching all day at GoFly, went to Redcliffe twice tho with students. Got a front seat in Big Yellow for the sunset ride- AWESOME!

Darbs et al, I will be there at 72 and 10 all day with the two schools I work with. Drop by and say hello, the weather looks to be on the improve but I'd be getting coffee before a clearance at this stage! See u 2 moro Neil.

Thanks JG, was wondering if anyone would get Musgrave Station. Barkley Roadhouse is another up in the gulf.

Thanks everyone for the fanastic feedback in this thread- I have been to many of the above in my travels on bikes over the years but not by air- keep them coming!

Ok- time to get the pub directory and the WAC out as a beer coaster! Where would you like to fly to, or have already and want to share, where you can fly to in your aircraft, taxi - up and spend a night or two. Reminiscing with the country folk over a few quite ales. This great brown land is perfect in our escape vehicles and has never looked more stunning. Look forwardto hearing from everyone. Gentlemen(and ladies) start your engines( and planning!)

Bas- I love my OzRunways!! Just had to tell you- great job- I even use the scratch pad for instructing when trying to visualise for the student cct patterns, approaches and all sorts of things- a really great tool for an old technologically decrepid child of the sixties- THANKS TO YOUR TEAM!:thumb_up:

So Darbs... who's the special second POB??? Think we start a new thread.. Pubs I want to fly to one day... Nindigully, Cracow, Williams Creek, Noccundra hotel etc....:thumb_up:

PM me Darby, I know the strip owner personally. Better get your sense of dirction sorted first though!

I received this from Warwick QRAA on Friday in relation this; On 18/08/2011 4:34 PM, Kelvin Hutchinson wrote: Dear members and friends It is with deep regret that I advise that Rob Behrend, CFI Warwick Flying School, our friend and instructor for many of us passed away yesterday in a plane accident near Emerald Qld. Rob and the person he was training (in a Veri-Ezy) were found today at 2.00pm. A full investigation is underway. Sincerest condelscence to all family and friends.

Arhhhhh! Simply stunning. Love the island strip:thumb_up:

Oh! Caboolture for those who don't know me....

If any one is flying up and back on the saturday, I would be happy to pay towards the fuel/hire etc. My Jab looks like its sold and the school planes are all working. Just PM me if you can assist- thanks in advance

Well done Mike, another fledgling to the fold- not long and you'll soon have a "licence to learn" Become the instructor when you're up there alone....

Let's all congratulate Redozbris who achieved his first solo this afternoon at Caboolture. Well done mate! See- ccts really aren't hell!

Oops, sorry for the repitition- it doesn't make it twice as important! Sorry:doh:

I had a reserve deploy into a perfectly good main one day- the RSL got caught on the main risers! Two canopies for a while both trying to make love to each other- chopped the main before they got to embraced. Not fun!
