Re: What have you flown in before?
I have been asked on many occasion to Vlieg in Joumoer but can't seem to find such an aircraft.
Any help appreciated.

Re: What have you flown in before?
The 6 aircraft I've flown in (or should I say 'flown on' for the trikes? )
1: R44 helicopter
2: Aquilla 582 (light flight)
3: A22 Foxbat (zucac)
4: Cessna 208
5: Windlass 503
6: Aquilla 582 (Bundy)
7: Sling 2
I loved all of them! But enjoyed the R44 a bit less than the others
Never flown in a commercial aircraft..

Micro Aviation - B22 Bantam
This is quite an impressive list,
Not easy getting in and out the Bantam on the ground!
Must of being a struggle to get out in the air.
Have you got some pics of all your adventures?

Re: What have you flown in before?
Nice Boet - there are some on your list that I would love to leave in-flight
klein - the Bantam is probably the most difficult aerie to get out of . The way I do it is to sit normally till jump time then turn around carefully on the seat till I'm facing backwards and on my knees. You then keep your back really low so you dont bump it above and squeeze through the triangular gap between the spar, wires and side of the fusalage and exit towards the back . OK if you carefull and not too big
Cheers V
