Skippy22 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Hi, New to Just Landed. Are about 4 hours into training now in a Jabaru 120. My husband and I are learning together and tend to help each other out a bit. Hubby in early fifties, I in late forties. Longterm dream is to own our aircraft hangared on our farm. Been in and had a look around here before but now getting around to posting. Cheers
rgmwa Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Hi and welcome from another West Australian. I haven't been here that long either, but it's a great site. Sounds like you've already got a runway, so I'm sure you'll get that aircraft before too long. Good luck to both of you with your flying. rgmwa
eightyknots Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Welcome to you and your husband. I started flight training this week. I had my first 'ground' lesson and the next one is in about ten days time. I hope you both go well.
dazza 38 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Hello and welcome, good luck for yourself and Hubby, in your flying training.
Neil_S Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Skippy22, Good luck with your flying - I am sure you will love it. Cheers Neil
sseeker Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Welcome Skippy, look forward to reading your posts and I hope you enjoy your flying :) -Andrew
sfGnome Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Learning with your partner. I'm jealous! Welcome, lucky one.
Skippy22 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 Hi David, Have had a bit of time since op to play around a bit more on net hence finally registering for this website, recovery going well and should be back flying in a few weeks.
Guest Kevin the Penniless Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Hi, I own a Jabiru J170 (Note spelling - Jabiru with an 'i') and live in Adelaide. Naturally you folks will welcome us fellow aviators to your property for fun flyins all year round;-) We'll bring our own food/drink!
Skippy22 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks all for your welcome wishes, friendly place.
Skippy22 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 Hi Kevin, Just a typo on the Jabiru spelling! Not quite up to airstrip stage yet but got plenty of room here so should not be too hard when the time comes, hubby already thinking about that so would welcome you. Never know ONEDAY we might get over there in something other than a commercial plane. Hubby is a ex South Aussie. We pretty friendly lot over here in rural areas, trying to get the local aero club up and going with a few more members, have the ex shire airstrip so partly there. Cheers
Guest Minifn Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Hello and welcome, good luck for yourself and Hubby, in your flying training I started with my partner but she never went past solo.
Guest Howard Hughes Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Welcome, you guys are really lucky, none of my wives would even get in a light aircraft, let alone learn to fly!
naremman Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Welcome to aviation. Hope you are finding that life now has a new dimension. Great to learn with your husband. My late first wife also gained her PPL and we shared many aviation adventures, meeting many new friends, seeing new sights, and sometimes ending up in places that we never intented to visit (usually weather related, not navigational misadventure). I have just gained RAA pilot certification after 37 years GA experience, and was quite impressed with the Jab 160 as a training aircraft. My daughter has learned to fly on a Jab 160 and I thought it was a good idea to gain RAA certification so that we might fly together. I hope that the Skippy username is not applicable to your landings!!. May they all be greasers.
farri Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Hi, Longterm dream is to own our aircraft hangared on our farm. Cheers Skippy and keep the dream alive,I`ve been flying off my own property for 25 years now,the freedom to be able to do this is something that I`m sure every pilot dreams about. Future goal.......When you fly up to the Cairns area,please call in,no landing fees and warm welcome waiting. Cheers, Frank.
Deb Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Good to hear you are learning to fly. I am also learning to fly in a Jabiru 120 and did my first solo last weekend, awsome stuff. We have a piper to rebuild, and we have our own strip but need to build the hanger in our spare time. We live in a fairly remote area. Your learning will be rewarded when you go solo!! Deb
