Having gotten the trolley grand prix over and done with, I now turn my attention to an aviation project. Getting my Yak 52 rating. I have just bought a share in the Te-Kowhai Yak Syndicate which owns and operate ZK-TYS. I've had a joyride in it previously, but this time I'm going to be a part owner. I'll probably be broke and disillusioned within 12 months but, by crikey, I am determined to enjoy it while I can.
Chief pilot, John Parker will be guiding me through the rating and teaching me the ins and outs of this aircraft. Can't wait. (But I will have to, as the aircraft is up in Whangarei with some of the northern syndicate members for a few weeks.)
