Nighthawk

I haven't met him yet but heard his name being mentioned. I will have to say hello when I see him.

Hi Truster88, Awesome, I guess you have a fair few hours of flying under your belt now :cheezy grin:Its good to see the plane still going hard after all these years from when it was originally produced (i think 1955) I have a feeling that while I am learning I will be flying the 152 and 172 a fair bit.

Hi Red750, Thank you, an Australian forum is exactly what I was after :cheezy grin:I did google "Australian Pilot Forum" but wasn't too sure about the dot-com so thank you for confirming Its always good to mingle with the locals.

Hi FlyingVizsla, That's good to hear :cheezy grin:I imagine it is like the 172 just a bit smaller and bumpier but I will find out next week. cant wait

Hi Farri, yes you are correct I am currently in Atherton taking lessons at North Queensland Aero Club in Mareeba. We have now all the new Windmills in walkamin which are an awesome sight from the air. A friend of mine has an ultralight and a landing strip further up from Mareeba near mutchilba and once I have my license I hope to be able to fly it. Thanx, i will let you know when I get down to the coast and say hi... I will have to make pioneer valley one of my stops

Hello everyone I have just started my journey in aviation and I am so excited to be here. I always had a tendency to flying and started with model planes but after taking a Cessna 172 for a flight with my local club I was hooked and I had to learn to fly, so I have my first proper lesson booked in a Cessna 152 next weekend to really start my exciting journey to become a pilot. I am from QLD in Australia and looking forward to making new friends and connections. Happy flying
