Help with DownWind

Thursday, 16 February 2012 17:35

As many of you are aware my main business has really ramped up over the last 12 months and in the interest of making hay while the sun is shining in a very bad economic climate flying has sadly become a dim memory…..sigh. Despite making every good attempt to get back in the air I find myself in the annoying situation that I’m not current, my medical has expired and what I really need is a good few hours work-out with an instructor and then finishing with my bi-annual flight review. What a mouthful!

Michael Gilmour I imagine that many private pilots have found themselves in my circumstances as other priorities of life take-over the time needed to get back into the air. Amongst all of these changes I also find that the much loved DownWind has been sorely neglected by myself and for this I hang my head in shame. I would like to apologise to everyone for this lapse in article writing.

This has lead me to the next stage of development in what I believe is an outstanding community. I would like to ask for some help from anyone that believes that they have a desire to share some of their experiences with the rest of the aviation community. In short, I need people who are interested in writing and having their articles on the front page of DownWind. It doesn’t have to be much and fun interesting writing is more important than grammar. Please let me know if you would like to help out.

In the meantime, I’m going to go and get my medical and get back in the air so that I can also feel worthy to share some of my own experiences of being a private pilot.
