Pegasus Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi all, I'm a pleasure pilot in the UK, and I've always fancied flying in Thailand. Anyway a few weeks ago I hired a plane in Pattaya and took a few pics I thought you'd like to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Cool pictures, is that one of those glider type things with a big fan on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Cool pictures, is that one of those glider type things with a big fan on the back? It's a Pegasus Quantum 912 2 seater microlight with a 80hp 4 cylinder 4 stroke engine. This is mine, a Pegasus Quik 912S, it's got a 100hp engine with a top speed of over 100mph.

Pegasus Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Same same as most small planes, you need a NPPL. Took me nearly 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwe_rayong Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hello, amazing pictures, thanks a lot. How much is it for 1-2 hours? Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 If you are not a pilot you can have a pleasure flight in the back seat, 4000 Baht for a hour, 2000/2500 for a half hour flight. Well worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Best way to view and visit Pattaya also - at 1000 ft ! There's always one isn't there? Every silver lining has a cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Right-oh, right-oh...pull over pilot, let me see your license.... I have it on very good authority that whilst taking those pics, you were flying with no hands on the controls....only on the camera controls..... I'll let you off with a caution this time but only because those pics were cool. Have you ever thought of doing some night time P I work spying on unfaithful girlfriends from the air??

And what was wrong with that ? Those pictures were brilliant and to get such a clear view at that height, avoiding the traffic and fumes on the ground in my mind is far more beneficial. Wish I could fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
