As High As A Kite.

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...

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.

Nice pictures, thank you for taking the trouble to post them.

Nice pics, thank you!

Is it difficult to fly that one?

Same same as most small planes, you need a NPPL.

Took me nearly 2 years.

Hello,

amazing pictures, thanks a lot. How much is it for 1-2 hours?

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...

Best way to view and visit Pattaya also - at 1000 ft !

There's always one isn't there?

Every silver lining has a cloud.

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.

I, too, thought 'shame on you, Jai Dee' especially being a moderator.

[Pink Mist]

I got your meaning espirit, 1000 feet is a good viewing platform.

[Jai Dee]

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".

[wilko]

Where did you hire the quantum and how much?

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...

Uh-Oh...could this be the start of air traffic congestion over Pattaya??

Isn't Second Road bad enough.
