About Me

I am an Australian Arts/Law student who is beginning to follow her dream of flight. This year I have found myself with healthy savings and fairly few outgoings, and decided it was a perfect opportunity to reverse that situation by spending all of my savings very quickly.

This blog will be a record of the highs and lows of this adventure. I hope that if others stumble upon my blog it will be both interesting and informative. For me, it is a way of documenting my lessons and my feelings, and recording my memories of flight training.

This is, I hope, the beginning of a lifelong adventure.

"I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty. That the reasons flyers fly, whether they know it or not, is the aesthetic appeal of flying."

"What is the purpose of the propeller? The purpose of the propeller is to keep the pilot cool.
You don't believe that?
If the propeller stops, watch how the pilot starts to sweat."
