Filling the empty spaces
Well, I have noticed that quite a few people here have expierence in the avation area.
I think motorcycling and avaition go hand in hand, quite a few avaitor people I know also ride motorbikes.
Anyway, I was wondering who, and what.
I fly gliders. I went solo at 14 and I am still flying.
I suffer from hooliganism.... Know me before you judge me

now where's some dirt!
I know of one chch kber that "fly's" quite often, although not in the way you're thinking. Gets these crazy thoughts about going on rides with his imaginary friends among other things.

Just started flying, going for career in aviation as a pilot.
See ya'll up there.
And for the 'other' option I 'fly' bikes

I have a Bronze Gliding medal in a box somewhere, earned during my 16th Summer. CBCIFTCB.
One glorious solo and then I've somehow never, ever, done it again.
Bikes give me the same fix, and I just don't have the same desire to fly that I did.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Not for 25 yrs - having to give up Piper Cubs, Moths and the occaisional run in a Sea Fury sort of took the shine off it........oh, and kids.............. Never could get the hang of flying a plane with flaps!
“- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
I'd rather be thinking
Got part of my way through the PPL years ago and then had to stop because of marriage, money, mortgage...
But the yearning never goes away. One day...
Age is too high a price to pay for maturity

I'm currently plodding my way trough my PPL, solo earlier on this year. Mostly flying Cessna 152's, tho I did fly a 172 the other day, which was quite a nice change from the 152's.
I will be getting my CPL, instrument and instructors rating over the next 2 and a half years, and hopefully get a job at an airline within the next 5 years or so. Motorbikes are newish to me, but I'm already hooked.

Jumped out of a plane with a parachute. Just had one jump.
I still fly and

Good man, except instead of Straps, we were told Cock-Cruncher, cos that's how tight the straps were supposed to be
10 hours and 30 minutes of that solo, and I was launched by a newbie tow-pilot doing her first glider tow. Ka 7 Rhoen-Adler and ASK 13 were my steeds. The Ka7 was a bit difficult to keep station on small thermals, but the 13 was a lot livelier and was even nicer with only one passenger.
Spent an hour ridge running on the Kaimais - what a buzz. Fantastic pilot who's name escapes me.

Where it's at...
I have been on an introductory Glide out at Drury...was a birthday pressie.
Lots of fun, wingovers and stuff, but I don't think I will pursue to glide myself..like the bike thing : )
I will be going for my first 10,000 foot parachute jump soon (another birthday pressie) just waiting for a beautifully fine day...
Om nom nom.
i'm about to sit my cpl - have multi ifr to get thru first though, although i may get the cpl out of the way over xmas. love doing aeros right above the house on those days that have just fluffy cumulus floating about, and i can see the mount, raglan, ruapehu and taranaki in the same breath
did a bit of flying down nelson way earlier this year - went low level down the molesworth rd, ending up eventually at queenstown, then up the west coast - re-living the beach flying done by the fox majors back in the 30's. awesome week's flying. mate of mine is an oohmaanaka instructor (and Air Nelson training captain) out of motueka - tried to talk me in to flying with him, but i like my wings to be still....
here's a fucked up spin...
