I'm heading over to Sydney on the 3rd September to get 80 hours or so, hour building towards 150 before starting ATPL ground school here in the UK. Got a Piper Archer booked for three weeks with Illawarra at Bankstown. Plan is to do whatever flight test I need to do to get an Australian endorsement on my JAR PPL, bit of nav and RT practice around NSW, then head off for a big trip round Oz. Planning on Sydney, Bourke, Adelaide, Perth (time permitting), Alice Springs, Darwin, Cairns, Brisbane and back to Sydney. Anyone fancy meeting up with a Pom with pilot aspirations for a beer or two, maybe a bit of flying? Just name your city - chances are I'll be passing through.
E-mail me - would be good to find a friendly face or two in the outback.
