Hello guys

please read this story, its really inspiring. personally it gave me a new hope That I can still acheive this one and only goal of becoming a pilot, and am sure its the same for us all.

and by the way I think the Hero in this story is radarvector RDV read all his posts or what do you think?


And where is IYV4U? or is she already in the skys

Encouraging story. Olumide seems to be a very popular pilot. heard about him from different people.

YES WE CAN!

hi wham and my fellow aspirants,my name is samuel and ive also got that age long dream of flying a plane.Right now im about completing my ND programme in a polytechnic and il like to apply straight away after my ND,so il like to keep up with the trend,a lady in my estate also introduced me to the birstow programme but i avnt got strong information about it,what she told me was to complete my ND which il be doing around august/september,and she told me that is when their application form will be out,my mail address is solafaju@yahoo.com incase you have useful information.thanks a lot

I think the Hero in this story is radarvector RDV

ahem, cough, cough, (blushing),

Yes O, I'm afraid its me.

The paper were doing a series of articles on Afro-Carribean people who have chosen non-mainstream professions. Watch out for some very impressive people to be showcased in coming issues. It was truly humbling and inspirational to see what our people are quietly acheiving in the world.

"Live the dream", and "Never give up". That should be the motto of anyone who aspires to become a pilot, as I am sure all of you here know (especially if you have read all 10 pages of this thread,, that shows you have the determination and tenacity to make it, already!!!!)

Hope you are all doing fine, and keeping the dream alive,

Anyone with updates regarding bristow,i'm about getting the form for NAF,do you all think its a good idea?

I figure some of us might find this helpful

Hello Samuelk,

pls mail me on whamatix@yahoo, com. Been kind of busy these days

Am very glad and more than excited to find this thread on this forum.
It has been my childhood dream to be a pilot but because of finance and lack of adequate information i relaxed and almost killed the dream. i even went to university to read geology, am practicing now but these days the childhood dream is coming up and its burning me up, in fact its simply eating me up. But with the stories here and similar interests, i can see light at the end of the tunnel. I hope to get more ifo and also assit all in getting more info so we can all acheive our heart desires. Cheers to all. " lets keep the hope alive".

A big holla to Pilot77, Wham, femo2000, kiwi992, RDV and lots of you out there, whome I've developed a huge admiration and respect for. I've been following this thread for a while now, and certain inputs prompts nostalgic feelings in me, because i do sincerely understand the feelings of lots of the passionate individuals who pour their hearts out.

I'm proudly naija, and grew up dreaming of soaring in the skies,  I've allways find this quote bringing a smile to my face "A man who has flown before, walks with his head held up to the sky, because he knows that up there he has been, up there he will return"

Things didnt come easy for me, I made my enquiries, had numerous dissapointments, but continued to fight on, to find a place in aviation. Today i have achieved my degree in aeronautical engineering, with specialization in propulsion systems and aircraft structures, from a european university, and currently rounding up a masters in computational design and modelling in mechanical engineering, still in europe, and have been involved with several aircraft design projects, and actively participated/ing in aerospace forums and societies both as a student and as a professional.  I think the great encouragement being dolled out by the above mentioned individuals is of great value, and i'm so proud reading the words of advices, and happy to know that there are people who care, and know what they are talking about. Big ups to you guys, and keep on doing the great job.  I wont say i'm highly proficient in aviation matters, but I'll be glad to offer hints concerning any issue to anyone who needs it.

The true wings of naija will unfurl very soon, and all u passionate folks here will have a place, and soar as well!
Cheers fellas!

@AirNaija

Its a pleasure having U on board. Thanks for the encouraging compliments. Hoping to chat with U someday soon.

Cheers!

I am planning to go for my training in HPPL and its really expensive but i am hoping to get the funds ready by September.
I need some advise about schools that can offer cheaper fees as the ones i have seen so far on the web ranges between 188,000 and 250,000 rand.( about 3.5million naira).
i prefer to fly rotary wing due to the flexibility and less crashes as it is not too risky like an airplane.

Hope i get some threads giving me more schools with reasonable fees and also handouts

,

guys am really pleased with these arrangement but please how can i apply for the PPL lincencing and when can i start the training.

also where is the closest location for the training for a nigerian.

pls what is the procedure to cross into the military(airforce) during youth service

Pls can the house provide information as regards the subject matter.i wrote the exam some times last month and am yet to hear any thing about the result.
I have a passion for the military,and also want to build a career as a pilot.

contact on this line 07033816914
