Hello All,
I've been getting severe ear ache from a couple of people here, encouraging me to join up - though I thought that, as a not active pilot, I'd not be worthy......but, having been firmly kicked in the arse and having my ego gently massaged, I decided to join.
I'm a non-current private pilot from UK (now living in Sweden).
My flying experience: I started flying hang gliders, back in the last century, briefly tried a Tomahawk at Ipswich School of Flying, then, eventually bought and learnt to fly a weightshift microlight (Pegasus Q). Then I upsized to various Cherokees at Little Gransden.
My job involved (and still does, occasionally) working in the Antarctic and I spent a few years doing airborne geophysics survey work there - so I've spent a lot of time in the right seat of a Twin Otter.
I'm looking forward to immersing myself in the world of Recreational Flying and frequently interjecting with my worthless opinions on a range of subjects.....
Cheers,
P
