Dish, my 78th best friend will tackle his final flight test tomorrow morning at Rhino. (actually he is one of my very best mates)

Best of luck to you my Boooooi. I hope that the last 17 years of training during your licence will give you all the confidence and skill that you will need. The Fockership and I will be there to support you.

I really do hope that you pass because then you will not be too grumpy when WP give your team one up the chutney jar tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise you day is just going to go from bad to worse.

I would like to start celebrating as early as possible tomorrow so may the force be with you China

Dish,

Go Boy and treat it as a normal flight, no pressure


You will crack it dude,

Go for it. Am sure you be fine.... It piss and if it not going so well, scare the crap outa the instructor. They usually pass you if you promise never to come back to them for renewal

Dish my boooi .... has it only been 17 years?? (Thatchman, please just check his log book as I am sure it has been longer!!)

Wishing you all the best for your Flight Test and I know that it will go very well, I just fear for your safety afterwards if Thatchman and Gaylord are going to be there.

I will watch this space for photos, reports, copies of your log-book (duly signed) and the regular banter you can expect from this bunch.

Saw a quite nervous Dish, at Aeroden this morning, just before his take-off to go to Rhino.

HUH ?!?!?

How did I miss the Dish at Rhino yesterday morning ? Weather was perfect - trust it went well.

The silence is deafening.

AAAAAHHAAAA so the Dishman came back to his roots of flying thats noe Rhino tpo do the final test, and guess what the man paessed and if it was not for his ears the smile would have been right around his face.
Thanks to Thatchman and Partner for joining Dish to and back from Rhino.

Dish and Uder said thanks for saying goodbuy but he is use to your manners.

Here are a few shots of the happenings at Rhino yesterday.

Well done Dish.

About time u slacker

Congrats Dish

The smile Saterday on your return , priceless.

Well done Dish you biscuit.

You should have seen the bog boy shaking while he was waiting for the verdict.

Yes and I did have to eat humble pie as that F#%$%$@ing Geo Aplon stuffed it up for WP. Well Dish it was your day china. Happy for you.

PS - Agent nice to meet you..................and please, Gaylord is not my partner . I like chicks..............a lot.

Dish had a nice flight back. Complained about getting bumped some over the Northern ridge but he is now a Pilooooot.

Hello Gentleman and others (thatch)

Yeeeaaaahhhhh - what can i say ??? Thanks to all involved, Julie - for being there and encouraging me, Udher for your patience, Gaylord, Thatch for being there for me whenever i needed you. Morph, Demon, Coyote, Basie, Agent Graham, Rudix, Charlie whiskey, Tracer, Weedy, Kevin Hopper, Dale, Piet, dark helmet, Big D, Wart and everyone else who stood by me with advice and assistance all the way through this process. Thanks to Martin and Thatch for carting me around for the better part of 18 months, the experience i gained from all of our flights together was invaluable...

One day i will write a book on the events that led up to saturday, it has been a journey and its come with its share of frustration BUT its been phenomenal and worth every minute. I have taken a massive amount of advice and gained a lot of knowledge from this site, so thanks to all who supported.

Yip, Saturday was a very very good day - Please refer to my mate thatch's post in which he refers to

" really do hope that you pass because then you will not be too grumpy when WP give your team one up the chutney jar tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise you day is just going to go from bad to worse" -

sucks to be you buddy because we cleaned your clock, and yes the L should be there..

see you all in the skies very soon.

> > > > Well done Boeta,
I hope that the '17' years was not that longggg'

I will try my best not to break your 'record', I will try to sqeeze in @ 16Y & 11Mnths, and leave the 'record' intact.
As it goes @ the moment, your 'record' is in danger??
