Flying with a License!

[65447]

Modesty possibly prevents our esteemed site owner (Richard Marsden of course) from mentioning the fact that he has just passed the necessary tests to acquire his Private Pilot's License - many congratulations to Richard.

I don't see how that might help him in his regular trips across the Pond though - he's gonna need a bigger plane.

Good work!

There are options a number of my former North American colleagues employed, of either living in an Airpark community, or having their own runway or shared runway access on private land. Some of these guys commuted daily to the various runway equipped offices; and if there was to be longhaul travel, could fly themselves to a gateway airport typically far more rapidly than by using a commercial flight. I twice had the fun of flying as passenger from runway equipped offices, the best was from just North of St Louis to 'Will Rogers World Airport' Oklahoma. Yee haa!

Well done Richard.

I'm minded to shout Duck!

But that might be a bit controversial

Well done Richard.

And remember a landing is a crash under control.
