OMG I did not thin I would get so many responses so quickly. Thank you all for your much appreciated help. I will go see these people over the next week or two. Tocumwal is very close to me so that would be great. Sheparton would be OK too. I ultimately want to work as a crop duster or cattle muster pilot. Maybe some other things like remote area mail, newspaper and milk runs. I would do charter and instruction, but while it would be great to just be employed, I can imagine the novelty of charter would wear off quickly, or maybe Id love charter. who knows. But knowing me, I would rather be on my own up in an Air Tractor bombing crops with what ever the farmer needs. There are other things too, like summer fire bombing or bombing locusts with the chemicals. But like most of you. The main goal is to fly and fly for a job. I just want to achieve this life long dream of being a pilot, if only a modest one. Then when Im old and I die, I will die knowing I achieved my dream. So yeah a super big thank you :) guys. You have given me the exact reply I was hoping for. thanks thanks & thanks again :P

Hi, Great info people. I have wanted to be a pilot my whole life. I always wanted to be a fighter pilot then retire to an airline. Im now 34 and there are absolutely no signs that's ever going to eventuate. So my second best ideal job in aviation is to be a crop duster / cattle muster pilot. Theres a few Tractors (there the big dusters yeah?) and a little Ag wagon. who fly around here a lot (Finley NSW) there's a fair few crops around here. Plus I think they are going to spray for locusts or something this year too. But not 'till they start hatching or some such. The reason I am here is also to find out the cheapest route to achieving my CPL. I have not yet learned all the acronyms in RAA yet but I'm getting there so bare that in mind for me, please ;-) I have done 11 hours in a Cessna 152 aerobat at torquay AP like 8 or 9 years ago, so I doubt that would even count any more. I have spent thousands of hours on various PC simulators mostly MS. I stopped when I lost a high paying job I once had. I was paying $170 per hour at the time for plane and instructor. Even after I got my student permit I was still going to have to pay $130 PH just for the plane. Then there where tests, txt books, you guys know the drill. I'm sure everybody says it but if you can become a VET, a MD, a what ever at Uni with HECS, why not to be a pilot too. The problem is my only trade is Concrete. I have managed to burn myself out physically. Ive let my self go and there is no way in hell I could ever concrete again. Which kind of leaves me now broke. So yeah. I need to find the absolute Dirt cheapest (dangerous if necessary) route to Getting my CPL and other endorsements for Crop /cattle. I live in Finley NSW. Im not sure what airfields are north of me, but theres quite a few glider strips & sheds on my drive to melbourne, including mangalore, Sheparton. No idea whats at nagambie or deniliquin. Can I get hours with paragliding? (Id love to try that out) What Im hoping for here is some one to to say "Yep go to this club and talk to this bloke and you'll be right" So yeah if you have actually done your CPL through RAA in my area +/- 200Km then I want to hear from YOU!!! or anyone realy. Have a nice day :)

Hi Ive just landed in this forum. Joined many forums over the years had lots to do with online chatting, online gaming, and all sorts. It never ceases to be humororous to me how females get all the attention on the net. Im talking NON-porn type stuff. Just your every day things. Like when I look at thetopics in the just landed forum theres "a female newbie" who needs help. Low and behold, most replys most reviews. LOL funny as... well... that.
