A local flight with a local hero

[@daverigby56]

Excellent videos Andy, really enjoyed watching them. Reminds me of trips I was lucky enough to get through friends who were PPLs. I think it is fantastic that you went to such lengths to give someone the pleasure of a flight in your plane...well done. next time I am sat outside the clubhouse with a pint I'll look out for your aircraft.

David Rigby Thanks for the feedback mate. If ever you want to come flying and share the costs, I’d be happy to take an enthusiast such as yourself and join you for that pint afterwards!

[@daverigby56]

That would be amazing. Just out of interest how much would it normally be ?. I am currently battling the dreaded big C so time is not an issue. Cheers Andy...hear from you soon. Dave

David Rigby Are you on FB or Twitter?

[@daverigby56]

Hi Andy I'm on both. I'll try and find you on twitter @pplbarton. Cheers mate...Dave

[@daverigby56]

Hi Andy. Hopefully you can find me on both now.

Great video as usual Andy and your mate seems a top bloke. He proper seemed to enjoy it! It's great that he can carrying on flying with you. Take it easy, Dan

[@Torkie9918]

Dan Cloran Thanks Dan. He is indeed a top bloke and we had great fun. The weather cut the day short, but now we know we can do it, there’ll be other flights that need planning!

Does anyone at your airport have a Cessna Cardinal that would consider doing the flight? That's the easiest airplane for less mobile people to get into, as it has a high wing, two big doors that open to 90 degrees, and great room in the cabin.

[@Torkie9918]

Keith Monteith That would be a good plane indeed. I don’t think there are any based at Barton however?

[@Raffles666]

there are some 172's and 152s at barton :)

[@Raffles666]

thanks dan - just for the record i loved it :)

Hello Andy. Thanks for sharing another video. Sorry to see that dodgy weather resulted in the flight being truncated. Must be very frustrating when that happens. Barton's runway is certainly looking somewhat scorched. Looking forward to the next one. Take it easy - Paul

[@Torkie9918]

Paul Markman Thanks Paul. There was an incredible amount of scorched earth about and the sad loss of quite an area up at Winter Hill was very visible. Not much I can say about the British weather, it is what it is!

[@Raffles666]

I still loved it all the same :D

[@gamingjax1232]

How much did your warrior cost you Andy?

[@Torkie9918]

GamingJax123 She’s not mine mate. Two gentlemen own it and I’m in the group. Not sure if exact figures?

[@gamingjax1232]

Ok thanks anyways and keep up the great videos

[@Raffles666]

[@Raffles666]
