I've worn glasses & contacts for the last 50 years (I'm 62) and since turning about 50 I've needed reading glasses with my contacts so I usually wore glass with reading modification built in. I often fly wear contacts and the wrap around sunnies I wear are from engineering supply stores and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them.  They come in a range of reading magnification with a very specific reading lense shaped in the lower part of the lens.  Keep trying different types on until you find a pair that have the bows tight to the sides of your face, then order about three pair ($15/pair)  SO much better than wearing glasses with clip on sunnies as you lose the wrap-around effect.  If it's cloud I put on the half-lense reading glasses.  I keep one pair (why do they call them a pair when you actually have just on item???) permanently in the plane and another permanently in my car.

New Zealand shut down all non-essential flying a the end of day on 25th (VFR or IFR). NO recreational flying until we get out of the virus mess. We started home-isolation at the end of the 25th as well: No boating, hiking/tramping/hunting in wilderness/forest parks, etc. The simple reason is they don't want to risk having to deploy scarce resources to any sort of rescue or recovery operation. It makes sense and seems to be accepted by the vast majority of people.

G'day One and All

I'm a new hatch without feathers or any other means of flight other than buying a ticket BUT I'm damn determined to fly and to buy an recreational class 2 aircraft I can fly without the full PPL license to travel, play and sight-see in.

I'm in NZ (spare me the sheep jokes), semi-retired at 58 and finally looking indulge in a long held desire to fly. I ended up on this website while searching for a 2nd hand Savannah and your forum came up in my search. I haven't come across any for sale but I noted "JG3" commenting that he might be aware of a few for sale so I'll try to make contact with him once I've explored the site a bit more.
