A sad sad tale P prop.....lots of reasons for this, mostly revolving around money I'm afraid.

My last flight was on the 10th March, I have a good excuse though ^ :roll: :lol: Still waiting for our wing to arrive then I'm going to be right up there with you bud! (^^)

For what it's worth, we were 17 guys crammed into the lecture room at microland last week for ground school. All of us excited as hell listening to stories of fly-in weekends and breakfast runs. Hopefully the trend is the same at other schools.

Finances will unfortunately always play a part but there's a bunch of newbies who cant wait to get in the air!

Did 80 hours in the last 12 months, for fun. Come to cape town, lekka winter weather to fly in.
If there is grass between your toes , you're flying to low.....
If ever in doubt about flying - drink a beer.
That will give you at least 8 hours to think about it some more.

Had a lovely late afternoon flip in the Jab this today. Radio and airfield eerily quiet. Conditions were perfect! Going again on Saturday morning.
