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

Hello @Emelia8

and other members and visitors to the "Hangar"

Really enjoyed and appreciated the descriptions of your own flying experiences and those of your family, @Emelia8 , and really love the flying outfit, as described!! Elsewhere I have said that my first solo flight was the most exhilarating experience that I have ever had on my own. So I can appreciate the feeling of being in a small plane, both as a passenger and as a pilot.

My own flying was cut short by the ever present need for $$$., probably with a few more zeros. However, I still enjoy planes as an interest.

Your brother's achievement in learning the "art of flying" was a considerable accomplishment. I believe that flying is indeed an art in which each of the senses have their part, even the acid like sensation on the tongue when something appears to have gone wrong. I can understand that it would have been, not only an achievement for your brother, but also a way of dealing with his personal issues. The theory for flying is very rigorous because you don't get many second chances in making decisions other than the correct ones.

The story about your husband in the jet-fighter aircraft and the expression "...you won't hear the third" brought a big smile for me.

Thank you for the vivid descriptions of the flying experiences of you and your family @Emelia8 , and for sharing them in the "Hangar"

Wishing you and other members and visitors a very pleasant and maybe even exhilarating weekend.

With Best Wishes

@HenryX

Re: Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Thank you @Sophia1

Especially for your visit and also your description of where you are at and the way that you feel comfortable interacting in various threads and with others on the forum.

The "Hangar" is a place where you can sit quietly with a cuppa and simply observe, or interact with others as you wish. Please come in browse around, it is simply a place where people can enjoy each others company as close or as distant as they may wish. Sharing, if and when you may want to and quietly in accordance with how you feel at any given time. Certainly anything but pressure.

I look forward to catching up in the "Writing Letters...." thread and I follow in the "living with ourselves" thread, where there, it is I who is mostly an observer and only offer a comment when and if I feel that it is appropriate.

With My Best Wishes to You@Sophia1

Hello @RedHorse

and other visitors to the "Hangar"

Your reference, yesterday @RedHorse , to a horse like entry "Thought I'd trot into your hangar to say Hi 🙋" was nicely placed. Particularly now that the "Denver International Airport 😁" mascot and cousin, Blucifer, has been released from quarantine. The mascot and take-off of the plane at Denver is also in keeping with the themes of the thread.

Very pleased that you did trot over to say "Hi"

Just an easy going place where people can relax and enjoy, get together for a conversation or enjoy the various visual contributions offered by various members, such as fiery eyed horse mascots, beaches, planes and other items of interest.

With Best Wishes
