The swap an hour thread

[Genghis the Engineer]

I wish to propose a new running thread, which I think might find favour with the "interesting aeroplane" nuts amongst us.

Proposed ground rules - to swap an hour for an hour, no money changing hands (of course) in each other's favourite flying machines.

So, post here if you fancy joining in - very simple, answer three questions:

(1) Where are you?
(2) What can you offer an hour in?
(3) What would you like to get an hour's flying in? [A longer list for most of us I'd imagine]

I'll kick off...

(1) Booker and Cranfield
(2) A 1947 Stinson Voyager, and a Grumman AA5a Cheetah.
(3) Tiger Moth, Cirrus, DA40, Vans, Longeze, Europa Monowheel.


Anybody else care to play?

2. 1952 Piper Tri Pacer *, Cassutt Racer **
3. Anything interesting / unusual, I love flying anything really!

** For a go in the Cassutt your going to have to persuade me your a current / experienced tailwheel driver who doesn’t scare easily...

[Ultra long hauler]

1) Guayaquil - Ecuador.
2) MXP 150 Patriot - LSA - Rotax 914 powered.
