April 25, 200718 yr 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...
April 25, 200718 yr Cool pictures, is that one of those glider type things with a big fan on the back?
April 25, 200718 yr Author 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.
April 25, 200718 yr Nice pictures, thank you for taking the trouble to post them. Arnold Judas Rimmer of Jupiter Mining Corporation Ship Red Dwarf
April 25, 200718 yr Author 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...

April 26, 200718 yr Best way to view and visit Pattaya also - at 1000 ft ! There's always one isn't there? Every silver lining has a cloud. Taoism: shit happens Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us? Atheism: I don't believe this shit
April 26, 200718 yr 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??
April 26, 200718 yr Best way to view and visit Pattaya also - at 1000 ft ! There's always one isn't there? Every silver lining has a cloud. 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.

I, too, thought 'shame on you, Jai Dee' especially being a moderator.
April 26, 200718 yr My apologies if I read it wrong... I though we had another Pattaya knocker on the forum... "the best way to visit... at 1000 ft".
