New Ride

This morning I awoke to an eagerly anticipated voice mail message telling me I had been accepted into a Cessna 172 group following meeting the group members a couple of days ago. The aircraft itself is a 1969 Reims-Cessna F172h which has been very well looked after. I had the opportunity to take a ride courtesy of one of the group members and found her to be a delight to fly and was impressed with all aspects of the aircraft and the group.

The decision was taken to join a group rather than go it alone with an aircraft because it gives me the added bonus of meeting a bunch of very friendly guys with whom to share the responsibility and who can offer me the benefit of their flying experience. I hope also I can bring some of my skills and time into the group so they can also benefit.

Therefore my first sortie into aircraft ownership has begun. I will post more about her in the next week once I have had time to take a few pictures.
