I obtained my PPC Balloon in June 2006 at "The Lake" thanks to Paul Gibbs, Maaike and Justin Gallbraith. I am working my way to a Commercial Licence.I work in aviation as a commercial helicopter pilot but really enjoy the balloon.

Thanks Deb, I'll have a closer look at the CASA website, I can never find what I'm looking for on that site!
I'm going to the UK for 3 months in June and I was thinking about taking some books over but I've decided it's probably a bit optimistic and I'll wait till I come home :)
Thanks again, I'll probably give you a call in a few months in a panic before my first exam!
Hi Deb,
Just wondering if I can pick your brains about the CPL written exams...I guess It's a little different as you have a lot of knowledge from flying your helicopters, but were there any books/websites etc that you thought were really useful? Also would be happy to purchase any study material off you if you are wanting to get rid of it.
Any luck getting a commercial instructor? I know that Steve griffin up in Brisbane is also an instructor...
Nicola :)
Hi Maaike,
Will do. Mon beau chappeau( not sure about the spelling).
I bought very little, too busy walking the sights. Hear the skiing was fantastic.

Hey Deb,
Check out the pictures of Chateau d'Oex on my page, the photos of you and your favourite hat have already attracted some comments.
How was your shopping expedition in lovely Paris? Was your luggage overweight on the way home?
