Hi all,
Just found this site quite by accident and registered immediately. On closer examination, this appears to be a UK forum and I happen live across the big pond. Hope I am welcome and can learn from you all. I would love to fly in the UK too someday as part of a vacation with my better half (also a GA pilot).
Besides, I am already curious about R. Weaver 😉

182man, you only need a web site to host the piccies on at the moment as the facility to post images on this forum is down. When it is running again you should be able to post them without too much trouble. If you still, like me, use wet film you will need a scanner but otherwise should not be hard.
Mike, thanks for that heads up. I was never good with wet film, so, I moved on to digi stuff and have an old SONY 1.2 mpixel camera. Seems to be reasonably fine given my rudimentary photography skills.

Welcome 182man. Nice to see another new arrival. Obviously you do not value your sanity or you would not have registered for this forum, not to worry you won’t have it long enough to worry about anyway
Thank you all for your welcome. It is deeply appreciated. I love flying and got into it rather recently. Got my Private (VFR) in July of ’03 and IFR rating in Jan ’04. So, I am a newbie to flying. I have just over 450 hrs total. Since my IFR rating, I fly almost exclusively under IFR flight plan even on VFR days. I just want as much time in our ATC as possible.
My wife and I are looking to fly in foreign lands and last year, bec of business reasons, had to cancel a trip to SAfrica as part of a group-fly safari. We had rented a C182 there but never go to go bec work ($$) comes first. You see, my wife and I, unlike R. Weaver :D, do not have any inheritance at all. Just our sanity.
And speaking of sanity, my non-flying friends think we have left our sanity behind the day we stepped into a cockpit and do so everytime we defy gravity.
😎
I am llooking forward to some interesting discussions. I have a few pics but I do not know how to post them on the web. I believe I first need to have some sort of site to host the pics and then they have to be linked here. I will work on getting that first part done first.

You’ll have to lead us through this one a bit
Kings Lynn / West Midlands?
Kuala Lumpur With Malaysia?
Kute Little Wilderness Metropolis?
Moggy 😉
Kute Little Wilderness Metropolis? that’ funny.
Sorry. It is Lawrence, Massachusetts, a nice Class D airport (RNYs 5 & 23, 14 & 32) just north of the Boston Bravo Airspace.

Welcome 🙂
I presume you both fly a 182? (Quick to catch on huh?)
Moggy
Thanks for the Welcome. 182man – the limit of my creativity 😀
Yes, a 2002 Skylane based at KLWM. Bought her new, is IFR certified with Dual navs, MFD, Stormscope, Traffic and Terrain, Weather uplink (the works) and a real pleasure to fly the bird. Wife and I have flown her about 650 hrs in the past 27 months and have enjoyed every minute of it.

YOU’RE curious about the delightful Ruprecht!! Not as much as us although there is a suspicion that (s)he is another forum member in disguise! According to another thread currently running, there is also a suspicion that he and Flying Chick are married!!
Yes, I did peruse that thread (long one at that). Quite interesting indeed especially the part about FC and RW being married
😀
