Gary's got his Piper Warrior on order.........

[John Wallis]

This is his first flight and the instructor let him take it off first time. He genuinely has a natural touch.

bloody hell i thought he was flying it as i was consentating so hard i did not sea that his hands were not on the controls.

great vid john and thanks for getting it booked in. great flight though and very interesting listerning to the other aircraft and approach precidiers.

cheers gary

[colin keightley]

been there myself and at the time had never flown in a plane of any sort so was quite un-nerving that i had the controls from start up to shut down apart from a breif moment when i bounced back off the tarmac in a cross wind and the pilot had to put it back down one wheel at a time.

Good on ya gary I just hope the cost dosnt stop you from quenching your thirst like it did me.

I like Gary's death grip on the yoke...... and how the throttle just takes care of itself

You don't need to hold it like your driving the happy bus Gary. And then there was the death stare.......straight ahead, eyes fixed on the horizon.

What you want is to fly a REAL aeroplane something with a stick, high wings and a tailwheel.

Boys fly Pipers .........Men fly Cessnas. Ain't that right John

[Mike Brown]

And real men used to fly Pawnees and Super Cubs!!
Cheers

I was in the Cubs once. Dib Dib dab Dab

Got my PFA Tailwheel endorsement in a Piper Super Cub at Breighton with an ex Vulcan pilot. Once took off from the side of a hill in that plane with the alti winding down........


Pawnee......Cub........ Nah real fly one of these.....

It all looked very formal Gaz, suit, shirt an a tie?

This is his first flight and the instructor let him take it off first time.

WOW I look like I can do an inverted barrel roll with 9.5 negative G whist eating my sandwiches an drinking my tea. I wonder what he'll let me do?

Where is this "fancy a shot o me little plane" school.?
