    What was the first airplane you flew in and how old ?

    Yeah. The combination of finally realizing a dream of flying, flying directly over my home town (and house) and doing it all in a Pitts with all the sensations from a large range of aerobatics was overwhelming. I'm only getting back to that first love now at the age of 48. Trying to make up...

    What was the first airplane you flew in and how old ?

    Pitts S2A at 17 years old at a small town Australian air show in 1989. Aviation wasn't very accessible over there, but it was my first love. The pilot (a QANTAS captain) was giving rides for charity. I got really lucky. Cost me a week's wages from my after school job. Kinda spoiled me for...

    Thanks VB. It's super-tempting. It's actually more complete than I was expecting (with the nose bowl and engine mount, etc). I hope it goes to a good home. Maybe Charlie's friend. If I end up making a move on it, I'll be keen to chat and make contact with your DAR. Cheers Glenn

    PSA: Auster Mk. V - Really Cool Antique/Warbird Project FS

    I've noticed the Auster is back up on Barnstormers again. I'm on the lookout for a project and as an avid Biggles reader as a kid, and a current Taylorcraft owner, I'm intrigued. Apart from the likely resulting divorce, the thing that gives me pause is a lack of understanding how Experimental...

    Sheriff Sale

    Yes. Should be re-registerable. If it was closer to me (Colorado), I'd be all over it.

    Sheriff Sale

    I'm guessing it's in pretty poor condition. Deregistered in 2013 and a google search of the N number shows it outside and abandoned in 2012.
