Doug Evans Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Hey bill welcome good see another lightwing two stroke as well :-) 2
Guest 25-0037 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 G'day Doug, the Lightwing taildragger will always be my favourite as she taught me to fly (25-0037). Your Lightwing looks fantastic! Cheers, Bill
dazza 38 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Welcome Bill, is that John Herds Lightwing in your avatar when he used fly out of Tyagarah ? I am out in the bush at the moment at work (FIFO) so I cannot check my log book to see the rego number of the one I flew with John back in 1987 or 1988 when I did a TIF with him. Looks like the same paint job as his old one.
Guest 25-0037 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 G'day Dazza, i'm not sure of the history on this aeroplane during '87 & '88 as my TIF was on the 25th of June 1989. I then learnt to fly in 25-0037 until AUF licensed at Booyan airstrip (a bit north of Bundaberg) with Instructor Neil Rutherford. I'd be interested to learn more about it's history and if it is the one you think it might be when you get to have a squizz at your logbook. Cheers, Bill

dazza 38 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I just got home this arvo Bill and checked my Log book, I flew 25-0037 Jan 10 1988 for a TIF with John Herd out of Tyagarah NSW, so she must have headed north after that. 1
Guest 25-0037 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 G'day Dazza and thanks heaps for checking your logbook, WOW!!! we have flown the same Lightwing.
