Cambridge Or Surrounding Area
 
I'm just outside Cambridge, and considering doing the PPL/NPPL. At the moment I am ploughing through the AFE books so I can see what this ground school bit is all about.

I would love to grab a spare seat sometime in or around Cambridgeshire to get some experience, see theory in action (hopefully might make the text clearer, it can be slow going at times) and go for a ride.

Happy to pay some cash for fuel or cost share etc etc.

thank you

Michael

Hi everyone, thought it was about time I registered instead of just lurking in the forums!

I am a 100+ PPL with Night Qualification flying from Prestwick. Just back onto the PA28 after a couple of happy years on C172 (which has now sadly moved to pastures new :{ ), but the chance to get back on C172 would be greeted enthusiastically!

Mostly weekend flying for me, spare seats sometimes available for jaunts to the Islands, Ireland and the top end of the UK in general! Would also be interested in taking up spare seats and helping with Nav etc (willing to contribute!) to expand my horizons a bit further. I am also happy to go with either new PPLs or those with a bit more experience. Can travel to GLA / Cumbernauld if required.

Feel free to PM if any of this is of interest.

Happy flying,

Gregor.

(Edited because I forgot about the Night Quali the first time!!)

Berkshire area
 
Hi there - Just wondering of anyone has any spare seats out of Denham. W Waltham, Blackbush, Fairoaks or Wycombe?

I've let my ICAO PPL expire and just waiting to start again (JAR this time). So just getting back up to observe would be a great booster.

Thanks. :ok:

aged 7th Apr 2006 03:43

Hi, in the summer there will be the occasional empty seat in a 152 flying out of Perth (Scotland, not Aus). You can either come along for the experience for a wee bit of cost share or, if a licence holder, share longer trips, eg down west coast to Ireland and back up through England etc

Anyone in the Bedfordshire Area
 
Hi there,

I am thinking about starting my PPL in the near future and would love to join someone on a flight. I haven't flown in a light GA aircraft before so it would be good to become aquainted.

I live in North Bedfordshire, close to Cranfield but will travel (within reason)

I will be more than happy to spilt the costs.

Cheers

Ed

Spare seat
 
Currently training for PPL based in Oxfordshire.

Would love to gain experience of flying in different machines - old, new, vintage, rotor, aerobatic - and yes I can talk and hold a conversation - would be more than willing to drive to meet up and help out with costs.

Thanks in advance

Spare Seat to Cork from Blackbushe
 
My wife was to fly with me to Cork from Blackbushe this weekend, but owing to an illness in the family cannot go now(nothing to do with my flying, honest!).
Planning to leave Blackbushe in the PA28 Sat 27 or Sun 28, and return Mon 29. You will have to arrange your own accommodation in Cork.
I will need confirmation by thurs am so that the forms can be completed in time.
Will probably stop at Haverfordwest on the way.

AeroExpo
 
I am seeking two seats (preferably in something without a steering wheel:E) to AreoExpo 2006 on Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th of June. Preferably Saturday but i'm not too concerned.

I live in Halifax and can travel to an airfield within any reasonable distance, willing to contribute to costs(feel like a right freeloader writing this).
PM me on here, MSN with that there button next to my name <<
or email [email protected]
or even one of those new fangled telephone calls 07968 748020

P.S. If I don't get a flight there's a spare seat in my Landy for anyone who wants it. 1st come ,1st served, and don't get any ideas of a luxury ride, as its a Defender.

Aeroexpo
 
Free seat (and free entry to Aeroexpo) available Sat 24th June from Upfield Farm (South Wales). (Sorry Ben, only 1 seat available & it'd be quite a detour to Halifax :hmm: )

Hi,

32, slim build, gsoh *oops sorry, I thought this was the dating website....*

BIGGIN HILL
If any PPL holder has a spare seat on any flight out of Biggin Hill I'd be very grateful. I'm 8 hours into my PPL course and the oppertunity to ask some questions, watch how trips are done and listen in on some RT would be excellent.
I would of course share any expenses.

Cheers

Sparky

London heli-enthusiast with a US licence
 
I love being in and around helicopters, and (of course!) flying them. I got a PPL in sunny California, and because of my US licence until now I've done all my flying on holidays in the States. I've notched up around 100 hours, mostly in a Schweizer 300 (Hughes 269). I've also flown a Jet Ranger a couple of times, which was "awesome", an R22 and an R44.

I've often thought that there must be loads of empty seats flying around the UK, and wondered whether some of the pilots would be happy to have some company and perhaps even let me do a spot of flying myself (subject to any licence issues). And then I stumbled across this thread - great idea!

I'm a well-travelled, professional 38 year old, and probably reasonable company (at least for the first hour or so!). I live in Ealing and work in the city. I never got a car, but can get to anywhere that's serviced by public transport.

If anyone would be willing to give me either some cheap flying experience in the UK, or the chance to participate in an interesting flight somewhere, then I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Cheers!

Angus

Mariner9 6th Jul 2006 15:04

I might (subject to usual aviation vagueries of weather and other family member's plans) have a free spare seat available this Saturday morning for a flight from a farm strip near Newport S Wales to Sherlowe, then onto Hawarden. One way seat only however (am collecting pax at Hawarden), you'll have to get the train back (could arrange lift to Chester station)

I am learning to fly from Blackpool, but both of our aeroplanes are out of action for two weeks :ugh: . Do you care for somebody to come along in the right hand seat a couple of times?
