Of all the stuff I have flown I'm sort of partial to the PBY. Out of interest, did you ever fly a Sunderland? My Grandfather was radio/nav officer on them during the war. |
Hey Chuck ... thought of you on Saturday while we were watching the two Cats displaying at Duxford. When's your next trip to the great rainy?

AerBabe:
I don't know when I will be back in England, I retired from the training stuff in April of this year, however I may be over just to visit. The guys from Holland are taking over on the training and ferrying stuff for me. It is nice to know that if nothing else I left a very capable group of pilots to help keep the PBY's flying. If you want to get a ride in their Cat, that can be arranged.. May see you again some day, one never knows what will transpire in this business. Chuck E. |
Standard PPL stuff. I have about 500 hours. I currently own and fly an aerobatic Beech C23 Sundowner 180. Previously owned: Beech 77 Skipper, PA28-140, C150. Rented/flew 172s, 150s, 152s and PA28-181.
Beech |
96 types, ain't adding up the numbers!
Most recent flying mostly in a Beech BE23, Piper PA28-161, Stinson S108-2, Thruster TST and Southdown Raven-X. No order of importance or preference intended. (Actually, the Stinson is making me work hardest, and the Raven the least, so those are probably my current favourites). I confess I'm looking towards my 100th type and hoping to make it something particularly interesting, but not sure what. Anybody know where I might get a trial lesson in an airship? G |
