Just supposing…

… there were to be a fly-in organised, for regular contributors to this board, how many would actually be able to fly-in on their own licence? A show of hands perhaps?

With Moggy and I stuffed in the same aircraft, I am not sure that there will be any room for poor old Suze. Perhaps we could sling her under the centre hard point. I’ll check which adaptors she will accept.

Hello Trinny

I will pop down to Leicester on the 26th, but I need some advice on what to wear.
It’s a toss up between my jeans (with oil stains) or my brown chords (with oil stains).
Is your mate coming btw?

It seems to me the best thing is to leave this for a month or two, and as then as spring beckons and cabin-fever abates, people will perhaps be a little less crabby.

In, say, early April, the days will be longer, the weather more promising, and we will all be itching to go flying!

Are you guys reading the same thread as me? Where has the obsession with experience come from?

Ironically from the ones with the experience!!! 😀 Can’t we all just get on and enjoy a grand day out Gromit?

I don’t think I’ll bother

I am probably not experienced enough

If you think, count me out of any forum fly in though. I couldn’t keep up with the witty retorts.

DBW, as flounces go that isn’t even on the scale.

We’d all love you to be there whether you bring one or two Yak 52s

A meet would be better with you there but that is your choice.

DBW, I think you may have woken up with your serious head on today!!!

Reading this as an innocent bystander I think Trinny has been fairly tongue in cheek.

I wouldn’t go or not go based on my “attitude”. It isn’t my fly-in, I hope that I have played a roll in goading people into actually getting on with it rather than just talking about it though.

As for experience, well, being a girl, I am not into willy-waving competitions. I think I can probably hold my own (so to speak).

I would suggest then, before getting sarky and making assumptions about peoples experience and abilities that you have a good think and don’t be so inflammatory. GA needs to pull together, not bicker and be patronising to lesser experienced. Next time someone asks you a civil question that you may be able to answer from your obviously vast experience try to help instead of demonstrating your condesending attitude and it wasn’t ‘willy waving’ at all, my partner (girl) also flies and agrees that you have a condescending attitude.

It scares me that some of you lot are even allowed anywhere near an aircraft. Look from posting #82 (page 3) on the Obviously named thread, “How about a forum Fly-in in 2006?”.

Does that help you out at all? No?

LEICESTER FEBRUARY 26th 2006

Do you need help booking a spamcan too?

Actually I was going to bring 2 Yak 52’s but given your attitude I don’t think I’ll bother. I was refering to the least experienced pilots on the forum.

How much experience do you have by the way? or are you one of these 100 hour sprog who think they are a bit of an ace?

I am generally a great believer in self help, but I will give you a clue. Check the bottom of the thread with the obvious name…

No more help!

All I can find is some obscure remark about Leicester with no date on it. Given that a lot of pilots here will have to pre-book aircraft maybe it would be more sensible to announce a date for this forum fly-in instead of being cryptic?

DB, you up for a three ship air to air next weekend?

We shall see… The date and venue have been picked.

What/where is it?
