Named after my first landing in the Trident Sim.

Bit insensitive in light of recent events. Time for a new one.

Just a little reminder to myself to check that the roller skates are down, so I don't embarrass myself.

(Nothing to do with golf courses, as been suggested in the past)

Refers to what I could do after being hospitalised a week after my trial lesson. Not quite true now and hopefully won't be true at all after the medical!

I'm a 15 year old student PPL, and many of my flying mates refer to me as the Fledgling, and I live in Kent

I think it was Keef, stiknruda and Cusco that really thought up the name!!

When I registered, all the relevant flying names I thought of had been taken, so I looked around for inspiration and saw the name on an old Clarks shoe box I use for storing cables, etc.

It's a lighter-than-air thing, which is my current GA activity.

Could have been Dumpline , I suppose, and Crownline seemed far too pretentious...

OK, so where's my sig gone? It appeared in the preview!

Mine was a tough one.

The alternatives were Doyle or Cowley.

Was born in Africa, now stuck in Europe, and I spend all day dreaming of soaring free like an eagle in the african skies, while closed in a dull office.
