Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

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

@HenryX

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

Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

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.

There was also a Catalina Flying Boat base

at Matilda Bay near the University of WA on the Swan River near Perth

Re: Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Hello @Former-Member , @MDT , @Anastasia , @BlueBay and all other visitors to this thread

Thank you each for your messages at various times.

@Former-Member , I understand that you have a special friend who has undergone surgery in the last couple of days. You are also concerned for the welfare and health of your friend. I do hope that the surgery will contribute to stabilising the health of your friend and give you reassurance also.

@MDT , Your life seems to really be something like a roller-coaster ride, with significant highs and lows. It is certainly my wish for you, as I am sure others would wish also, that you are able to find some peace and serenity in your life.

@Anastasia , From various of your notes and messages, I believe that your situation is almost one of hyper-vigilance, particularly with regard to your son. That position on its own can be particularly draining. In terms of everything else, you are managing to cope but, in the process, experiencing your situation as being very stressful. I know that I join with others in offering you support and comfort.

@BlueBay , My hope for you today is to find some relief from the pressures that you have been experiencing lately. I very much hope that the comfort of your family will afford you reassurance during a particularly stressful time.

To You All

My Very Best Wishes

@HenryX

Re: Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Sorry I have few words to say @HenryX

There's so much going on here and I can't think straight. Have you had a good day?

Re: Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Hello @Former-Member , @BlueBay , @Anastasia , @MDT

Thanks for messages. I likewise hope that you are all ok. Understanding that life throws some "easy balls" and some "curved balls" {to use what, I believe, is a baseball analogy} We each have some good things on our plates and some more difficult issues and circumstances to deal with.

On a lighter note, I went over to residential aged care for singing with the seniors there. It was very pleasant to be active in the group and the exercise seems to be well received by the residents. There is age related humour and also humour with regard to health, general situations and circumstances, reflections on times past and general banter and quips that make the morning pleasant and enjoyable.

This afternoon, I have a short meeting to attend, with our small RSL group, to draw names and horses for the Melbourne Cup sweep. Again, that is a light and pleasant social interaction. Apart from that, life in my area is very quiet.

Hoping that everyone is well, and if not, being well looked after.

With Best Wishes

@HenryX
