Guest clack Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 G'day all, Looking to get back into the fun of flying - hopefully with a sonex! Good to read about so many other enthusiastic aviators out there. Regards Steve Previous types: CT4 / PC9 / CC08 / B743 / B737 / Tiger moth / Yak52
planedriver Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Welcome to the forums clack. In case you had'nt done your homework, you've just landed at YENJ (Enjoy) Looking at the types of a/c you've flown, i'm sure with your experience, any of your posts will be well received, and only contribute to the knowledge and enjoyment we are fortunate to be able to share on this great site. Rgds Alan
Matt Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Did someone say CT4 Welcome Clack, I'm guessing by your type list that you spent some time as a military aviator. Some of us here are less "ultralight" than others but it's all recreational and very friendly. PS> We operate a CT4 out of Penfield (Sunbury) currently but just about to move her up to Kyneton...where there's quite a group of ex-military-airline flyers. PPS> Your Tiger Moth and Yak52 operations wouldn't be out of Point Cook by any chance? Cheers, Matt.
Adrian Lewer Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 LOL your funny Matt, if we ever need you attention we will just hold up the spotlight with CT4 on it... i love your enthusiasm.
Adrian Lewer Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 absolutely true planedriver.... why the airfield change matt :devil:
Matt Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Reason for the change - hangarage. After a few months of searching we've managed to locate a hangar space at Kyneton and will be able to get the CT4 indoors and out of the weather for the first time in 12 months. While Penfield is convenient at the moment, we'll be moving into our new house in Gisborne next year and it's only a 20 minute drive up the freeway from Gisborne to Kyneton...in fact it's only 30 minutes from our current place at Sunbury. Kyneton also allows quicker & direct access to our aerobatic area as it's under a 8500' CTA step where Penfield is cramped under the 2500' step - requiring 10-15 minutes flight time to and from the training areas to get sufficient height.
Guest clack Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 G'day Matt, yep, Yak and Tiger out of Pt Cook but no longer enough time to stay current - bugger! The CT4 was a great little aeroplane, surprisingly capable. Hope you haven't retained those uncomfortable helmets and chutes!! Regards Steve:thumb_up:
Matt Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 The CT4 was a great little aeroplane, surprisingly capable. Hope you haven't retained those uncomfortable helmets and chutes!! No helmets or parachutes, only Bose headsets and comfy cushions for us :thumb_up:
cazza Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Welcome to the forum clack. After checking out your a/c experience, I think you are a good candidate to visit the Temora flying museum. I live on the airfield, so if you get up this way, stop in for a cuppa. cazza
slartibartfast Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 :big_grin:Welcome Clack. I'd love to catch up Cazza. Will you be there Sunday? Ross
cazza Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Ross Yep I'll be here. We are on the airfield and our hangar has the orange windsock. I'll make some brownies since a couple of people from this forum are popping in. CAZZA
