Shane pre-flighting VH-SPQ

Welcome to my website featuring my experiences as I learn to fly light planes at Redcliffe Aero Club in Brisbane, Australia!!
The first time I ever flew in a plane was my 13th birthday, which was Sunday 2nd December 1979. Twenty-seven years later to the day, I had my first flying lesson on my 40th birthday. My goal was to gain my Private Pilot's Licence, and with that goal met in July, 2007, I'm moving onwards and upwards to my Commercial Pilot's Licence (CPL) . I hope you enjoy reading my diary and viewing my photos. Thanks to those who show such interest in my site, I look forward to bringing you continuous updates. Perhaps I'll inspire you to learn to fly too!!
