Ah Memories
G'day to all the KNX flyers and potential flyers. Reading your posts brings back a lot of memories. I went there to fill in for a guy doing his instrument rating for 3 weeks, back in '81 and ended up spending 3 great years there!
Just went thru my log book and discovered I did over 200 local scenic flights (dam wall, irrigation area) and about 50 bungles in the 3 years. Just out of interest looks like the bungles started becoming popular in the dry season of 84.
Getting back to Mr Crowe, I don't imagine things have changed that much as far as recreation goes. There was certainly plenty of sport and water activities to fill in your time when not flying. Good luck finding a flying job. You'll probably wonder at some stage if it's all worth it but the potential for all pilots is I believe pretty rosy at this stage.
Do they still have a bit of a get together in one of the hangers on a Friday afternoon?
