Proof that age is no barrier!
#1

Here it is folks - not that it was ever in question, but learners can help Gazz down to the pilot's box with his Zimmer frame, and he'll happily impart the fruits of years of knowledge in exchange. What at deal!

Congratulations mate! It's a big plus for someone to repeatedly sacrifice their own flying time and to accept the responsibility of coaching others through the difficult bits. Thumbup

What has happened to the kids of this day and age.
A bloke goes out of his way to help out the needy (Like you Steve)
And a little cheek is what they get in return.
Dont leave your Zimmer frame unattended next time your down out housie sonny, I might be getting on but I strill remember the formula for plastic explosive, and I will blow your sorry arse into orbit when you least expect it.... you cheeky young wippersnapper
That will wipe that smart arse smile off your face boyo
So keep it up champ.... and we will see who is smiling and who has their name in the obituaries

Geeez, Steve & Gaz arguing the age stuff, I am 7 years older than both of you and just starting out. So I am reaping the rewards of having a young instructor help me to gaining my wings & I thank him for trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Congrats for being an official instructor.
