Good Old Days

G'day

When I started to carry on with my multi-engine training, I did so in Kingston. I flew a PA-23-250, CF-GNA with an instructor by the name of Dave Sly. At the time (July 1976), it was 75 bucks an hour.

I can not remember exactly what I was paying for a C-172 at the Kingston Flying Club, but it was very reasonable especially for a young Private not making a whole lot of money.

The C-172 I flew the most in Kingston was CF-YOK. Just an all round good handling bird. The airplane was later sold to an elderly couple who hit a tree, crashed and burned on a dusk take-off from a very short grass field.

Cheers...Chris
