    Hi, I am a member of EAA and I find it a great resource. The Webinars are really good, and there are masses of archived Webinars for you to trawl through as well, so you can just select those areas of particular interest. The monthly magazine is also very good. As you are based in the US there should be a local EAA Chapter that you can join where you can meet fellow aviation enthusiasts and get loads more info. Cheers, Neil

    Amazing! ....and easier to put up than many tents I have seen at fly-ins! Thanks for posting. Cheers, Neil

    Very sad. I hope they can repair it. That's a lovely plane...

    Hi Marty, Yep - that would be my choice too, given you are staying in London. BTW, as you are in London and using public transport if you want to see a great Air Museum then Hendon is really easy to get to, and well worth a visit :- http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/london/plan-your-day/map-and-directions.aspx Cheers Neil

    Bonjour Jlguym, Est-ce tout? J'ai un vélo! Cordialement Neil

    Yup - I agree. Have you seen those Red Bull Air Race guys before they fly? They walk through their routines in the hangar, turning and moving as they would be flying, and saying out loud what they are doing. I'm sure if it works for them - it should work for lowly mortals like us! Cheers Neil

    Hi Willo, Wow - going to Natfly from WA 4 times is very impressive! You should definitely get involved with that sort of approach! Cheers Neil

    Hi Mauld, Great video! Thanks for posting. I have always liked the Hurry just as much as the Spit - just as iconic IMO. Cheers Neil

    Hi Liftmad, - where are you learning & what do you train in? You have joined the ranks of those many of us who wished we had done it earlier!! Hope you continue to enjoy it (I am sure you will!) Cheers, Neil

    Hi Flyerme, Not sure exactly what sort of knowledge of the aircraft you are seeking, but I have seen it at various fly-ins here in Victoria over the course of the last few years, so I know it has not been languishing in a barn or similar..... I am sure Mike H. would be happy to give you further info. Give Lethbridge a call and they can probably put you in touch. HTH Neil

    Hi Beefy, Well done, mate! It's a thrill you won't forget.... Cheers, Neil

    .....sounds a bit like me!!

    Hi, I got one of those from Ray's Outdoors. It's very good - I got a "Hiker's" one, which is shorter and more compact than the standard one. Being vertically-challenged it works fine for me. It rolls up very small too. It works by having an internal structure which pushes itself out and pulls in air when put out flat. Then you can top it up with a few puffs of air in the mouthpiece. HTH Neil

    Great stuff, mate! Your sister sounds a bit like my daughter - and I found a good, non-turbulent day to take her up for a flight she enjoyed. Like you say - it's great to see a flight through the eyes of somebody who has not flown in a small plane before.... Good luck with your mum! Cheers, Neil
  20. Neil_S
    Brilliant!

    Excellent video, Planey.... Yeh, Mick - I saw the Vulcan at Wings & Wheels (Dunsfold) a few years ago - definitely worth it! Try to get to Old Warden if you can - the Shuttleworth Collection is one of the best, and if the weather is nice you get to see the Edwardian planes fly....magic! Cheers, Neil
