  1. This would be a great alternative for those that didn't want to be involved in a syndicate. I would be up for it as it would mean I could really get some hours in before I took the plunge and brought my own kit. (obviously once I have some PMC training sorted!)

  2. Hi guys,

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience (in GA or anywhere else) of aircraft group ownership? Thes is something I'm exploring with paramotoring and wondered if anyone had any advice? Has anyone else ever looked at doing this?

    Cheers all.

  3. *This isn't medical advice* however! Nsaids (non steroidal anti inflammatory *removed by admin*) include aspirin and paracetamol. Ibuprofen is the best of these, however as mentioned can cause shortness of breath, asthmatics beware!

    Have a chat with your gp/hopsital doctor for best nsaid advice. Tell him about paramotoring, then hammer the physio! (if she's pretty ;-) )

  4. I know a bloke that did his tib and fib (both lower leg bones) and pulled the ligament off from his ankle. He went on to attempt selection for the TA SAS 18 months later. While he didn't get in he did do a shed load of training with a heavy Bergen and it didn't affect a regular career in the forces after that.

    His secret was to do all the physio exercises twice over.

    Just don't give up and visualize yourself flying again.

  5. Had a work email the other day warning of paper shortages. Apparently the Peru(?) Earthquake and a major Scandinavian fire have disrupted supplies. Might be worth considering a more DIY option?

    This might all be lies of course, it has been known from 'the management'.

  6. As a potential student I've been looking for this facility as well. What better way to introduce someone to the sport, emphasise the importance of the safety drills and demonstrate how easy navigation actually can be, than by taking someone out on a tandem flight. Less of a 'tourist flight' more of a potential student flight.

    If this was included in the price of a course I'd probably have paid my cash and then used the experience as a motivation while I'm studying..!

  7. I used to live on the farnborough approach and this is an awesome time of year for aviation. Best areas for a free view include military land at the end of the runway where they filmed the hovercraft bit in one of the bond films, another great place is my old hack garden. For reference , the dead sparrows formate on the hogs back.
