OK. hate to sound like a b!tch, but don’t you dare start that one on m!!!! OK!?!?! And i’m not joking, this 100% annoys the living hell out of me, and is a royal way to get on the wrong side of me, and trust me you don’t want to be there!!!
and yes, i’m being polite, ask my dad, i have awhole string of words that i won’t post here for people who say that to me.

Ah yes, but you’ll always get back home :p Besides surely by now the 172 knows it’s own way to Kent.
That is true, but you’ll bever get anywhere, hehe…and i think it does, although finding woodchurch it’s not always 100% sure on, lamberhurst it is not half sure on and the same for Headcorn! lol..so yes, i could find Kent, but where in Kent I need to go could be another question!
hehehe

look out for someone with a J1/160 Auster and ask for a try!
i think just the one auster will do me just fine 🙂 hehehe, let me scare myself on that before I start on other models 🙂

Hadn’t thought of blaming them… even more reason for taking a passenger…hehehe..

My tastes these days have changed regarding airshows, I rarely go to Duxford and the like, instead I prefer the smaller more intimate airshows such as Woodchurch, Little Grandsden and Old Buckenham.
that’s coz you know which side your bread is buttered :p 😉 😀 🙂

Janie and Big Beautiful Doll, Janie’s first time at Legends. They seriously wiped the floor with all other displays.
Yep they did!! hehehehe…but then I’m biased!
1) Mustangs, Harvards, Yak 11, dusk time dispaly at Bent waters this year.
2) Black Hurricane dispaly at Woodchurch this year.
3) Mustangs tail chases at legends 02… i enjoyed it apart from the massive amount of sunburn!!
4) Harvard anniversary (tonnes of harvards went to europe) amazing site.
5) Any airshows with warbirds, baring spitfires are my favs!

At-6 – surely the note of the Harvard is like a Banshee wail – it’s might sometimes have a throaty roar put that prop tip going nearly supersonic isn’t exactly harmonious.
I love that noise. But you will notice most poeple only do it at airshows, and those who do it reguarrly are not being kind to the engine and kind to surrounding people in surrounding areas. You won’t find me doing it.

Not when you have been used to 180hp I suppose all through your training 😀
true, but if i haven’t like it after 7yrs, i doubt getting 50hrs or so on it is gong to make that much difference.

How many hours do you have in a Chipmunk?And, Leah – smile, pleeeeeeease. We’re all friends here.
Well, i have more than 150hrs in a harvard, i know it’s back seat, but what can you expect from someone who has only just got her licence?????
hours in a skumnkmunk? you have to kidding me right? You couldn’t give me all the money in the world to get me into one of those things!!
Friends, I have never said I am friends with anyone here.

The Mustang is a work of art 😀 I prefer the term purposeful rather than aggressive😀
Maybe so but still not as nice as the T6

Don’t worry, the Auster will grow on you then you’ll start wondering why anyone wants anything with more power. It’ll get you in and out of strips you’d be hard pushed to even turn a T6 round in (almost):)
I very much doubt it, we have had our Auster 5 for seven years and i have flown in it 5 times, i hate it. Not going to grown to me. 130hp is not nearly enough for me.

There is plenty of power in an Auster… as long as there is only one of you in it downhill, with 4 knots straight down the strip.Never flown one but heard the trim was really weird.
See not a nice plane to fly, who wants to go flying on their own?
the trim isn’t weird, but the compass is…
