Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar
Hello to All Members
This is just a place where people can catch up with Henry and others,
ask or answer questions
have a 'chat and coffee',
an imaginary 'joy flight',
just 'hanging out in the hangar'
{cleaning, polishing and mechanical assistance always appreciated},
to talk about any subject that complies with guidelines, available here > Guidelines & Info <,
or whatever else we might consider appropriate and possible.
Everyone is Welcome.
With My Very Best Wishes

The following details are just for interest. Though I was not able to complete flying training, the most exhilarating experience I ever had, on my own, was my first solo training flight in a Cessna 172

I remember watching these beautiful planes {in other livery, paint and identification} landing on the Brisbane River when I was a boy. They looked like huge Pelicans as they glided down onto the river.
