Of course, if you cant make it to JoeyGlide to give us a hand, the least you can do is switch to using Internode for your ISP.
Not only do they provide this list, they are by far the biggest sponsor for JoeyGlide - There is no way it would be growing the way it is without their support. God bless you Simon. Nick On 3/13/07, Ben Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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.
