New from Brisbane

[Zordah]

Hey all,

 

I've recently acquired an interest to learn to fly (yes I'm so new I haven't even piloted anything yet) and found my way to this forum.

 

I'm 42 so probably too old for a commercial licence but interested in flying friends and family around on a private licence.

 

Any tips on some good learn to fly schools in the Brisbane area?

Welcome!

 

I'm in Vic so can't recommend any flying schools in your area, but daresay there will be someone who knows.

Welcome Zordah

Welcome to TAA Zordah. Never too late to learn to fly. Hope you find the answers you seek here.

Had my first lesson this morning at Gil Layt's in Archerfield. It was AWESOME!

 

I think I am hooked now...

:biggrin:

 

I'm guessing the 2nd one is a more accurate picture of you. Well done!

G'day Zordah, welcome. Don't forget to take a trip to Darling Downs Soaring Club near Jondaryan, W of Toowoomba. Gliding experience and soaring, weather flying skills will have a positive effect on your power flying skills too - and you never know you might get hooked there too...

Heh Wingnut, my wife is already complaining about the cost - I don't think I could sneak another addiction in as well :rolleyes:

Hey Zordah is Steve Taddeucci still at Gils?

 

 

[Zordah]

Yes, Steve was the instructor for my first lesson :biggrin:

 

Great guy, felt very comfortable with him

 

 

[717dvr]

Steve is a good guy

 

tell him Kelvie says hi next time you see him

 

 

[Zordah]

Yup, definitely hooked. Up to lesson 5 now and loving it.

 

Can't wait for the weekends to roll around to do another lesson :biggrin:

 

 

[717dvr]

does he still fidget all the time, I'm sure he does. Tell him next time I am back his lunch is not safe! He'll know!!

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm on my way towards my private license and recently got into learning Wordpress so I thought I would put together a blog on my journey to learn to fly.

 

http://www.learningtoflyinaustralia.com/

 

Hopefully you don't mind me posting a link to it here but I would like some feedback if anyone is interested. If not, it's OK, I just felt like sharing...

 

So far I'm up to doing circuits so I'm pretty new but enjoying it immensely

 

Still seems like a loooong way to go to get my private license.
