Recent holiday pictures off the departure airport (Exeter EGTE) leaving for Lanzarote.

TSC is familiar, you might recognize some features of my signature, have you flown into Dunkeswell recently, I work there on weekends now

Don'yt know if you remember me TSC but I designed the Dunkeswell Scenery a while bak for FS9.

[This Is For TSC] I had another flying lesson the other week and I done a touch and go at Exeter, I came in a bit high and had to use full flap (Cessna 152 from Devon Somerset Flight Training www.dsft.co.uk) ended up facing the ground at 40* from horizontal[/This Is For TSC]

Again Kurt, that'll be a no - still a bit young (14) plus I'd never manage to afford it LOL Grin

One day though, maybe Cheesy

You have a PPL Kurt?

Great shots Kurt! Always nice to see EGTE, really cool to see Zulu Tango aswell (G-BAZT), that was the last 172 I went up in, but sadly, it was far too long ago now  Cry As always, the money is always needed for something else. Glad to hear that your getting more hours under your belt & If I'm free any weekend I might have to hop in the old car & come up to Dunkeswell for a quiet jar outside the bar there.

Interesting little note, in the picture of Zulu Tango, down amongst the hangars in the background - one of them down there (I forget which) houses a very, very nice Howard 500.

I remember who you are now aswell, things have become clearer  Grin

Cheers for the pics,

TSC.

Nice set  of pics, despite the scratchy windows.

Good luck with your flight training... I see you have discovered the "hidden talent" of the C152... world's slowest dive-bomber... Cheesy

I know, about the windows, they were poor, the airline was rubish!!!  Angry We were supposed to fly with First Choice but that never happened!

And for you, cspyro21, I am training for my PPL (I'm 15 since Feb this year), you would be suprised cspyro21, you are not too young, I started having lesson at 14 and my first flight experience at 11. But then again like you said the money. I come from a working class family and I struggle a bit with help from parents etc. I got myself a job there to help with the expences.
