What kind of pilot would you like to be?

Most people only dream of being a pilot and never take the plunge often because they do not know where to start or think it is way too expensive to learn.

The truth is that there are many ways to experience the thrill of flying often more cheaply and easily than you would imagine. You do not even need to be able to fly yourself to get into the air and have fun.

If you are a pilot already you probably want to be a better one, either just by building experience or getting more ratings. Does Multi engine, instrument, instructor or airline transport sound appealing?

This site came about because of the questions we kept hearing about what is required, where to train and where to fly. Most of the popular press seldom mention events or clubs in Scotland but there is an active scene here, whenever the weather lets up of course.

I decided to build a site and share my experiences of doing cool things and talking to cool people to answer those questions. This will be fun and I hope you will contribute and share your experiences too.

The idea is to bring together all types of flying from paragliders to helicopters and busness jets with everything in between. We will be going flying and interviewing professionals and sports flyers alike. Skydivers, gliders, microlights, hot air balloons and general aviation types all add to the mix.

There are of course also museums, events and airshows all over the country. Who knows we might even visit some of the neighbours?

I hope you enjoy the site and that you will send us an e-mail or photo whatever your level of interest or preference!

Alexander.
