Hi all! Long time no see!

Apologies for the break in communication, but have had some MAJOR changes going on. Personal life had a massive rejig, but ah well, if it's meant to be it will winkyy.gif

ANYWAY, big news is I no longer work at Pak N Save as a forklift driver! I now am a Trainee Aircraft Engineer at Wanganui Aero Work. That's right, my days consist of fixing not only Crescos and Fletchers, but aero club Cessnas and Tomahawks, as well as the occasional C90 King Air and Mojave!



Needless to say, I am rather pleased with this position. biggrin.gif



Due to my fluctuating life prior to my WAW employment tho, I got bored with FS ( ohmy.gif ) and sold FS9 and FSX. HOWEVER, I'm back into it with FS98.

No, really.

So that's it! I'm back, I'm enjoying the chance to catch up on all the happenings here, and BRAVO for the Flock Of Fletchers - an AI addon I feel is loooooooong overdue!










And yes, money allowing, I WILL pop next door and recommence my PPL training.

Shite 1980. That's 2 years before I started logging flights.

Pass on my regards to him.

He was in charge of the rebuild of DOB many moons ago.

Beautiful 150 commuter. WAW did an awesome job. sadly the old man sold her around 95'

Sure do miss her.

Cheers
