Newbie from Queensland.

Hello everyone, glad to finally be linking up with some other aviation people. I'm from the Scenic Rim in southern queenslan near Boonah and have only recentlt started my RAAUS Certificate. I started at Christmas, have 23 Hrs up and am almost ready to take the flight exam. I've been wanting to fly all of my life and now (at 41) I've finally managed to afford to get in to the bottom end.

 

I live on 56 Acres and hope to have a strip on my place by the end of the year and have been looking at a few STOL Skyfoxes for the task. I think I've finally nailed one that I like down but it's in Gundagai, near Wagga. Is there a chance that anyone knows of a good ferry pilot who I could use to fly my new Aircraft back to Boonah for me. I can meet up in regional NSW or in Brisbane and drive down with them then pay for a return airline ticket home.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Thanks to all.

David Mason flies out of Boona and I am sure he would do it. You should go as well and get the experience flying cross country. Have you looked at the new Bat Hawk that Errol Van Rensberg is bringing in from South Africa. A terrific short field aircraft and tough as nails. he has a demo at heck field.
