Windshear Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Greetings everyone. As far as the obligatory introductory posts go, I'll keep this one short. The name's Chris, I just came on 17 years of being on this planet (come on, age diversity is usually never a bad thing :P ), and I'm about to properly start my GFPT/PPL course at YAMB early next year. I've done some flying here and there. I'm currently working at Tiger Moth Joy Rides on the Gold Coast as one of the ground support crew (image below). Mowing the apron by hand and loving every second of it! Beyond aviation, photography, technology, the ADF (and other militaries), modern history and music are my other most prevalent interests. I'm a graphic designer as well. My studies are winding down for the year so I thought it was a good idea to start to socialize with the aerial brethren I intend to share the rest of my life with. I'll catch you gents around. Peace ~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark11 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi Chris There are a few younger chaps on here. Most of us are 40+ (I reckon).... Maybe there is a survey to verify this If you have the chance to start flying early - take it! Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
