Greetings Microlighters

Postby skydancer » Wed Jun 06, 2007 12:51 pm

:D Hi to everyone on this site,registered on this wonderful this morning.Currently busy with my PPL at Rand airport,and logged 26hrs up to date on a P92 Tecnam Echo ZU-ECL and ZU-DMT.I had previous experience on flexiwing Trikes,at the time(year 2002)I was flying at Leading Edge flight school in Hoedspruit with Deon Kraidy on a Raptor,ZU-CRZ.Although have not completed my MPL at the time,as i was and still living with my parents,we then moved from Hoedspruit to Benoni and was unable to complete my MPL,but manage to fly 2 solo flights.After arriving in Benoni,some time passed,then in the year 2006 February I began with my PPL course at AFOS flight school based at Rand airport,flying part time.And currently busy with solo flights to Johannesburg General Flying area.
Thats just a little background from my flying experience,and im also a member on another forum,regarding flight simulation,which is www.fsx.co.za and as much as i love flying in real world,I enjoy flight simulation after working hours and have logged 615.0hrs on FS2004.
Hope to have a wonderful time with everyone on this site,and I already familier with one member on this site,who introduced me to this site a while ago,and i trust that we all can learn from eachother.Thank you!

Kind regards

Skydancer, you will have to excuse all the fun that we poke at PPL. The sky is such a big place that there is room enough for all of us - "checkers packets", "flying garden furniture", "egg beaters" and "blik aeries".

The aerie looks awesome and good luck (again) for your training. If you are ever down in KZN you are welcome to come to Cato Airfield and I can show you around our little patch.

Welcome SkyDancer, if you don't want to be kicked off the forum or want more friends you gonna have to learn to fly with permanent flaps :twisted: , unless you make friends with GT450's...

Anyways hope you enjoy it here!
