Ill be in Australia for about a year. I'm studying at the University of Newcastle for a semester then student teaching for the following semester. Why aren't you able to get out flying enough?

Well congrats! Probably best to ride on something that fits into your license category and step up in the future. Really depends on what style of riding you want to do.... I like Adventure, so i have a BMW GSA 1200 for road and off road. You will find your interest after a few years riding around and meeting fun people. Balloon flying has been quiet for me.... Just busy.
Sorry i was not much help.... Hope to see you all soon. DB

Profile Information

City, Country:: Sydney, Australia

About Me:: I got bitten by the bug in 1999 and I have been a private pilot since 2002.
I've been competition crew ever since my very first encounter with balloons, and I flew as a competition pilot in my own right at the last Australian National Championships in July 2007, with the one and only all-girl-crew: the HeeBeeGeeBees (Hot Bunch of Girl Balloonists).

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: "WOW - what a ride!"
