Biggles Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hi all, been playing guitar for many years but six months ago bought a Fender Jazz Bass to develop the skills and as a compliment to my Gibson LP and Ibanez 6 stringers. Like to play a mixed bag of music. I also have a couple of Korg Keyboards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Cheers folks, .... amuse Dad3353,..... spot on, just reading some of the posts does show humour to be a key component of this forum. I’m a Brit and we have to gave a sense of humour given that there are 60 million if us on a small island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too! What did you learn in? Mine was a Cessna 152 probably quite ubiquitous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yes the same as you, flew 152’s out if Liverpool for the first 30 hours in the logbook then moved to Blackpool to fly Cherokees and Warriors to finish off the PPL. Flying back to Blackpool from Carlisle and was near Penrith on the Solo Navigation a Tornado went ballistic in front of me, that caused a bit of seat squirming for a while, luckily I never saw the second Tornado. Another occasion got into an argument with Manchester AT as they had my position 20 miles South of where I was which was directly above Birch Services on the M62, been nervous of flying out of or into Manchester ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to enjoy doing that - I was also buzzed by two Tornados when I was on my first solo at Perth, Scotland. When I came to land it was really windy and they made me use the grass runway, which hadn't been used so far that year and the grass was as long as the field it was in, so very difficult to see. When I was leaning on the door on my final turn it popped open and I nearly fell out! Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
