The swap an hour thread
I wish to propose a new running thread, which I think might find favour with the "interesting aeroplane" nuts amongst us.
Proposed ground rules - to swap an hour for an hour, no money changing hands (of course) in each other's favourite flying machines.
So, post here if you fancy joining in - very simple, answer three questions:
(1) Where are you?
(2) What can you offer an hour in?
(3) What would you like to get an hour's flying in? [A longer list for most of us I'd imagine]
I'll kick off...
(1) Booker and Cranfield
(2) A 1947 Stinson Voyager, and a Grumman AA5a Cheetah.
(3) Tiger Moth, Cirrus, DA40, Vans, Longeze, Europa Monowheel.
Anybody else care to play?

Great idea Genghis, I wish I could participate geographically!
But, for anyone in Ontario,
STOL Cessna 150, and Thurston Teal amphibian, and often something else I happen to have around at the time....
I'd be very happy to fly a Beagle or Robin (I was lucky enough to have a Tiger Moth to test fly last week!)

1. Very flexible
2. Boeing 737-800 (note 1)
3. Supermarine Spitfire
note 1 - I'm happy to pay taxes, charges and check-in fee, but you'll have to pay for your own checked in luggage.

Shall we swap?
1) Guayaquil - Ecuador.
2) MXP 150 Patriot - LSA - Rotax 914 powered.
3) Since I´m very low on hours, I´d fly anything really. I´d love to do a spin in an F-16 though.
