Greetings all!
Well, I finally got down to "Northumbria Flight Training" today, and the office area is looking fantastic! Couldn't believe the transformation!
Managed to see the CFI and NC which was nice, and we've sorted my training out. Got a lesson booked for next week, so I'm rather chuffed with it all!
The first thing which struck me, when I walked in was the better atmosphere compared with NAC. In the old club, whenever I went in it, seemed hostile. But today was the total opposite - straight away we were greeted by (I forget her name, Neils wife, I believe) and the CFI came a couple minutes later for a chat. NC, who was at the heli area then came, and again another nice chat. The whole place seemed nicer and more friendly. NC made a point of introducing me to another young flyer which was again very nice. The helpfulness and general positive attitude almost suprised me, but certaintly made me happy to know I'm doing PPL training there.
So nice to see a proper club at Newcastle again!
May see some of you down there at some point!
Happy flying!
JW.
