Hi Guys
Just wondered if anyone would be interested in forming a small club doing some real flying around the U.K?
I have access to a Piper Warrior, Seneca and Cessna 172. If there is enough people I can also fly the TBM700 but its quite expensive per hour.
Just an Idea.

Thanks

Hi J41. Nice idea. It would depend on exactly where you intend flying from. I have little interest in modern aircraft so it doesn't appeal to me. If this was a Tiger Moth or even a Piper Cub I would travel any distance. Wink

Clarification - Hagar's definition of a "modern" airplane is one that has (a) no exposed wires; (b) no propellers; is (c) all metal - not even fabric covered control surfaces.

Exception is made for the Extra aerobatic planes - he considers them "honorary vinatage".

Maybe not vintage yet but a true classic. At least they're proper aeroplanes without that awful tricycle gear. Roll Eyes Tongue Wink
