Q1 I wonder how long before our Prime Minister will take up ultralight flying?

 

Q2 Wouldn't it be nice if those in power took an active interest in light aircraft like Vladimir Putin did yesterday??

It was a publicity stunt and he wasn't actually flying (probably can't).

The federal minister for agriculture, joe Ludwig has been flying in my Brumby 610, he is a GA pilot and flies gluiders. So that's at least one minister from the aust federal government.

Putin's presence seemed pretty real to me.

Presence and piloting are two different things.

80K,

 

The answer to Q1 is when they make a seat big enough for her butt, also she already walks like a duck so she may as well be up there leading a group of ducks instead of the turkeys she leads in cabinet.

 

Q2, yep it would be nice if they took a genuine interest in our sport
