It was a 15 minute circuit and I recall my instructor who was watching from the ground said my landing was good compared to a few other in the circuit. This comment was very pleasing for a young 16 year old at the time.
The aircraft was almost brand new and belonged to a flying school called Pipeair which closed up many years ago.
I never flew this aircraft again ..Pipeair owned about 6 similar Piper Cherokee 140's and I always seem to get something else.
Moorabbin was a buzz of aircraft and activity in those days ..
I got my unrestricted PPL at Merimbula on 09 March 1991 ..25 years later !!
