Wingnut Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi folks, I thought I would join your esteemed company, TAA looks like a good group As per my handle I am a bit of a Wingnut. I have been a gliding and soaring pilot for 39 years, am a very keen gliding instructor and cross country and wave soaring enthusiast. I also joined the darker side in 2003, am a PPL(A) GA pilot with a half share of a nice little Grumman AA-5 Traveler. I am also very happy occasionally flying Tecnams with the RA-Aus crowd. A Wingnut and a Weathernut, I am a real keen weather observer, weatherzoner and cloudspotter. It all comes with having soaring and flying in the blood. www.canberragliding.org is my home club website, along with http://canberra-aeroclub.com.au/cac/. Apart from flying, there is nothing like a wee dram of fine whisky to add value and a smile to life - Sliante! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 G'Day Wingnut, Yep- nice machines the little Grummans. Have flown a couple Tigers. Took me a while to get used to the castering nosewheel, but. Coop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airsick Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hey Wingnut. Good to see another local here. Maybe we should trade flights one day - I'll take you in the Virus if you take me in the Grumman. I've always looked at them and thought they look like a fun plane. Hope to see you around...

siznaudin Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 There was another -DGA, wasn't there? Met a sad and fiery end some years ago but thankfully nothing worse than the aircraft loss (& that was bad enough!) Enjoy the group, Wingnut - and welcome!
