Hi All, Postponed becoming a pilot for 20 years...

[Mark11]

Welcome, Mark. I am sure you'll enjoy being in this forum. I hope your aviation plan/retirement plan works out well for you.

Thanks, I hope so too... I've always been a nice guy who has done everything for myself...

 

At this stage of life, I appreciate others much more than I used too... I guess it comes down to everyone having lived a life... Which I find very fascinating...

 

Regards

 

Mark

Mark, Perhaps you already have done so, but I'd recommend you join the Seaplane Pilots Assoc Aust. (www.seaplanes.org.au) It's free and Ross Vining, their Newsletter editor flies a Searey. Their president is NSW based so may be more accessible for you than Ross who's here in SA. Their newsletters are worthwhile.

 

Where's your Tassy block?

Without practical experience, a head full of theory won't get you much respect in the workplace. Often you will get a new graduate out amongst a group of experienced workers, who could really have a hard time , if he/she is not diplomatic and prepared to listen. Nev

Thanks for that - I will join. Would be great to get a ride in a searey

 

My block is in Surges Bay - 52 min drive south of Hobart (about 70km)

Yes, if you are ever near Ross and his Searey he'd be happy to oblige. The SPAA has plenty of events/fly-ins where you'd get an up close feel for a wide range of amphibians. Surges Bay looks very nice indeed. All the best in your flying and longer range plans.
