ruralflyingdoc Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Long time reader, first time poster. Based in country SA at the moment, up to 65 hours on a Jab 160-D based out of Port Pirie. About to start GA conversion on 172. Hoping to use the flying to get around the state for work in the future. Nice to meet you all. Gerry
FlyingVizsla Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Welcome aboard RFD. My old instructor used to like teaching the Doctors and Anaesthetists to fly as they seemed to cotton on to concepts and manage time very well. Mostly they were with the RFDS or Flying Surgeon, so they got to revise while in the "office". Loved that country around SA. I took a couple of people from Western Qld down to the inaugural meeting of the Maitland Aero Club and it was an eye opener for them to see airstrips everywhere and property buildings the size of their town, a plane in every second shed and pilots everywhere. They take their flying seriously down there - as Basshafers pointed out there are more pilots per head of population in SA than in any other state. So its great to have you on board! Sue

peter Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Welcome, I do rural and remote GP locums, currently typing this from Woomera, but based in Goolwa. Have used the plane to get to work all over SA and western NSW. It is a great way to go, Cheers Peter
