Escapades of a student pilot...
« on: March 01, 2013, 04:50:22 PM »
Hi all,

I know I've posted about this website before, but things are really starting to pick up for me in terms of audience figures and endorsements!

So I would just like to invite you to check out my blog, have a read at it and let me know what you think, at the end of the day, a blog is website that aims to share information, as a result many people follow blogs so it's important that the site is likeable, so as I say, just have a look and let me know what you think, please:

If you have a bit of extra time on your hands, you can also look at Karlene Petitt's blog post about me and my story so far at:

Thanks a lot,

Jake :)

Very impressive Jake and good luck with your PPL training.  Won't be too long before your first solo circuit - savour the moment - it's a day you will never forget!

Hi there TCX49 - Training is going great at the minute, had a few problems with the aircraft I fly as it suffered a problem with the engine which took 12 weeks to fix, but now that it's air worthy again, I've been up continuing with my training, which feels great once again. Last week, to my amazement, I actually done a touch and go at Belfast City along with a low pass over the city - something I'm sure not many 15 year old teenagers could say! Planning to go solo in Decemeber on my Birthday so that's my main objective at the minute!

Thanks for asking! :D

Keep it going Jake. Have been up in a small aircraft at Enniskillen Airport around 2 years ago which i enjoyed very much!

Very nice Jake. The only thing I would say is to left align the text instead of centre. Just a personal opinion :)
