G-KEST, I think that we should be told

Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

G-KEST, I think that we should be told

Opening this months "Aerospace Professional", which arrived on my doormat, it appears that our very own G-KEST has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.

If so, jolly well done, serious congratulations in order.

Thanks Genghis. I accepted an invitation to apply for an upgrade last year and it finally made it through the system. I doubt if the elevation will alter my occasionally ascerbic approach to matters aeronautical.
Now lets hear a rousing rendition of -
"For he's a jolly good...........................................!!!!!".
Cheers,
Trapper 69

Congratulations B.

From a fellow 'Fellow'.

G-KEST,

Many congratulations. We'll raise a glass at the BAeA competition at Elvington over the Weekend.

....and what does one have to do to become a 'Fellow' of the RAeS, and does it involve secret societies?

Well done mate

"Occasionally" G-KEST ?

ZLIN, damned if I know, I'm still a member but going to have a second try at Fellow this year. Something about having reached a high professional status or made a major contribution to the science and art of aeronautics.

Not wishing to steal G-KEST's thunder and change the nature of the thread, I'm sure that by now Genghis might have some news of his own....

....and that might just help to get FRAeS as well.

Go G, I'm sure you can tell all - you can't be that modest!

Try asking if there's a Doctor in the house.

Or 'on board', as we're an aviation website.

Ah well yes. 'Tis true that after 8 years of (occasionally) hard work in what might laughably have been called my "spare" time, and a lot of assistance from many worthies including (but far from limited to) India-Mike, Wyvern and John Farley, I'm now officially Dr.Genghis.

Congratulations. A real Doctor!

I'd never got around to applying for Fellow. During my stint in the Wild West I resigned from the RAeS. Now I'm just G.Fr.RAeS

Trapper - its worth a beer next time you're in town.

NB: G.Fr is Good friend.

Would a demonstrated ability to three-point the Aussie Wirraway in a 25 knot gusty cross-wind without busting a wing tip, qualify as proven "high professional status ?" If so, I have no hope!
