Hello I'm new / I'm back

[Ben B]

Hello
Some of you may remember me. I used to post on this forum under same user name back in 2001/02 (I actually met a fair few of you on the first SYD spotting weekend in January 2002) I let my membership lapse mainly due to a ceasation of home internet access/computer issues at the time. Have been meaning to rejoin for a fair while but not got around to it till now.

Anyhow a bit about myself - Still living in Port Macquarie - I don't fly (other than a 20 minute flying lesson in a a cessna 152 about 6 years ago - a curcuit of PQQ - was doing quite well but botched the landing - quite embarrassing really even if it was only a lesson).

I do mostly flight simming (when FSX decides it wants to work) As with all of you I can't get enough of flying. I collect airline inflight magazines and also a few timetables, several books DVDs etc.

I don't get to fly nearly as often as I'd like to due to work commitments and being up in Port Macquarie don't get many spotting oppourtunities (Although we did finally manage to get jet services here last year) Looking forward to Vanuatu trip in a few weeks (stay tuned for trip report).

Anyhow looking forward to contributing to the message board. Good to be back.

Cheers
