Welcome to my user page. I hope you like it and if you want to speak to me, feel free to post on my talk page. While I like to maintain a good user page, I want to spend most of my time contributing to the Wikipedia Aviation Project.
Travel is my greatest ambition following a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New Zealand in late 2007. However, my greatest interest is in commercial aircraft and airlines. I hold a Private Pilots License and dream of one day becoming a commercial airline pilot.
My favourite 3 aircraft are: the Boeing 777-300ER, Concorde and the Boeing 747.
My favourite 3 airlines are: Emirates Airlines, British Airways and Air New Zealand.
I have made 1,312 contributions to Wikipedia pages and have written four articles from scratch: Orizonia Corporation; Air Grand Canyon; Aviation Partners Incorporated; & Mitigation of aviation's environmental impact. I have also worked to help the British Airways page achieve GA-Class and got it to A-Class. The ultimate goal is to get the page to become a Feature Article.
Most of the Iberworld article is my writting and the entire "Incident" section of British Airways Flight 9 was rewritten by myself. I have also done major work on Continental Airlines' Envirnoment section; the whole of Transaero's page; all of British Airways page; part of Orbest's and Air Pullmantur's
I have experiance flying the Piper Tomahawk and Cessna 172.

General Aviation Flying
[edit]
Since I was eight years old, I have wanted to be a commercial pilot and I am one step closer to that dream with my Private Pilots License (PPL). I currently fly the PA-38-112 Piper Tomahawk and the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. The pictures here are not of the aircraft that I fly but represent both aircraft. I can think of no greater thrill than flying a light aircraft and urge anyone to try it. Gaining a PPL is well worth both the (quite considerable) cost and several thousand pages of theory if you're like me and love aviation.
