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.

Brilliant idea.

Sadly need to sort renewals and things like that before flying again, think I just found an incentive to get current again so I can participate

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.
