My microlight - from the beginning ....


.... there was my last BLOG (http://mikeflyinginphuket.blogspot.com/) which sets out the history of:
i) How I imported my Air Creation Tanarg into Thailand
ii) How I got my PPL in Thailand

It's a pretty dull read to anyone who doesn't have a direct interest in either of these two subjects.

This new BLOG is designed to describe the fun and thrills of flying in this beautiful country (and who knows? ........ maybe some bordering countries too) and should be a far more entertaining read. I realize I've just set myself up for ridicule with this implied claim.

My mount, "Little Nellie" HS-YES, is a new Air Creation Tanarg 912 ES with the Hors Piste wheels/brakes and an iXess 13 wing (13.5 sq m). She's also fitted with the Stratomaster Enigma glass screen. Here she is on my 53rd birthday (10 Sep 09) when I first flew her in Pattaya, Thailand:


Microlighting (microlite flying) in Phuket will now become a regular way for me to pass some time here - I'm always available to take people for rides and if they'd like to find out more - mikegillam@hotmail.co.uk
