I would but i'm a member of the 716 Airforce Cadets club in WA....
The problem i have is we are aimed at doing early flying trainin to
basically C cert , then we encourage the students to join a local club
and continue there training and further flying,
At the moment we have only instructing staff as full members,
consisting of 2 instructors, 1 Aei, and 2 tuggies in training (one
being me),and 1 Puchatek, i'm at the point where i have to join
another club eg Berverly , Narrogin or GCWA to continue the more
advanced flying and tryout some comp stuff to see if i make the grade,
So its off to another club for me
What i would like to do once a tiny couple of ticks in the boxes for
my training are completed is to attend a "Coaching" type event over
east, where i can burn some fequent flyer points before they become
extinct, go for a holiday fly my guts out and hopefully pick up some
finer points of gliding over a week and a half and enjoy the sport
before i find myself doing the aei thing and hearded into the tug, and
meet the other juniors in the sport over a couple of tinnies / or reds
for the older folk.
Joey glide looked like it would fit my bill very nicely obviously not
as a competitor now ... but if coaching in a twin for a week is avbl
i'm still interested.
It would be nice to fly a glider and actually see the vario go above
zero and finally break through 5000ft.... i hear its been done before
but ive never been in a cockpit and seen it when it has happened
........8-), and when i have cracked the long hour flights i always
seem to have ballast sitting behind me , which negates the use of
those flight towards my C cert..... Bummer.
Regards
Ben

Ben, i'm sure we could find something for you to do....
Why not encourage someone from your club to compete, and crew for
them!
Nick.
