Billt Easton gets his Microlight License
News Item Added: 20th April 2009

Billy Easton achieved his lifelong ambition today when he passed his General Flight Test and became one of the few . Billy took his first ever flight only eight months ago after passing all the theory examinations first , and the preparation was of a similar high standard for his GST . Billy even declined an offer of a flight round the peninsular in Tony Dowlings Eurostar in favour of swatting up on his overhead joining procedures until Tony pointed out that a real overhead rejoin trumps one on the blackboard any day .
No need to worry at all really as Billy flew through the test with no problem and on receiving the good news from the examiner Billy went off to hunt for the emblem of his success ( his complimentary microlighters flying jacket ).
Quote --- I’ve sweated buckets for this jacket and I’m never going to take it off .
Billy joins the G-KYLE group as a very chuffed 5th member.
Happy flying Billy.
