Abso-bleedin-loutely but why wait? Get stuck in, it is all flying and the tailwheel will sharpen you up on the ground and make you concentrate more on approaches!

At the moment I am looking forward to converting onto the BRB (Big Red Beast). I suppose you’ll want a go in that too . . . .

I need to wait because I don’t own the aircraft, so need to hang on a bit until the owners says yes, although we have started to discuss it 😀

As for flying the Big Red Beast, well if your offering it would be rude not to. 😀 😀

My favorite moment is difficult to pin down, I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience some fantastic moments in aviation. The temptation to pick my first Mustang flight is very strong, but maybe a little predictable. My first trip in the Stearman was great as well and another ambition realised.
I would say that my favorite moment must be meeting a gentleman who has over the years become a good friend and has enabled through his incredible generosity many of these things to happen. Cheers M.

Don’t get me wrong, I am intending to fly other types and will hopefully be moving on to the Auster in another 10 / 15 hours or so, that really should sharpen me up, from there on, well I guess we will see what happens in the future, at the moment I’m just happy to be flying.

I currently fly a 180hp 172 having trained on a 150hp thing, the extra hp makes a huge amount of difference to the general performance of the aircraft.
Part of my reason for not learning to fly 10 years ago was that in my youthful state I looked at the Cessna / Piper range and thought ‘I don’t want to fly one of those!!’ and wanted to fly something more interesting!!!
Looking back now I can see how stupid I was and how much I have missed out on, however I am attempting to make up for it now by flying at every opportunity, now where did i put that bag of extra special sunshine that I’d been saving, I could just do with it now!!

The 172 is a lovely aeroplane with the right engine!!!!

Good luck on the course Steve, any idea who your instructor will be?

I too have had a look at a rather stripped down Piper Pacer fuselage recently, thankfully its well underway to being straight again and restored to full health.
