Hi there,
Hi guys, can anybody help?
I have this idea but I really don't know whether it is possible or not. I am a British citizen, 34 years old, a professional but currently between jobs – so I have a little time on my hands and am very keen to use it.
I am a private pilot (with a South African private pilot’s licence), with around 300 hours experience. Much of this has been bush flying in Africa, and also long legs in the USA.
What I am looking to do is travel with a ferry pilot who is doing a delivery from the USA to pretty much anywhere. Obviously with my experience I could not be P1, but I would be good company for the ferry pilot and one of my strengths is in logistics so would be very happy to assist in whatever might be necessary.
I am aiming to be in the US in mid June 2010. I do not mind what the destination of the aircraft would be (Europe would be great, as would Africa, but anywhere is fine). I would pay for my own transport and travel costs, and would happily provision the aircraft, and could tip the ferry pilot for the experience!
Does anybody know if the above is even feasible, and if so, does anyone have any tips?
Many thanks!!
