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.

 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!
