I'm glad we've finally got this forum. Now those of us who fly for fun and change our minds every week or so as to whether we're really wannabes (depending on the state of our bank balances) needn't wonder quite where we fit into PPRuNe. TikkiRo, quite a lot of us are female too; it just isn't always obvious. Come in the chat room some evening - we often outnumber the guys! And with over 17,000 registered now, there are bound to be some prats - and they often make a lot of noise - but by no means everyone; stick around and you'll see.
