Good day from a Newby South African Student Pilot

Was the poster talking about a real jackal or another airplane? I assumed
it was the latter.

Greetings from California...nice to hear from the other side of the
world. Congratulations on starting flying lessons.

As for the hire/fly or buy question, I rented for my private pilot
lessons, am still renting for my instrument lessons, but am looking to
partner with someone and buy a plane sometime next year.

Haven't seen a Jackal on the runway before...but we do have foxes that
live on the airport grounds. It seems as though they have figured out
to stay off the big long piece of concrete though :-)

Seeing as the OP was saying Hi from South Africa, I'm guessing he meant a
real jackal of the wild dog variety.

Hey again! I did not even realise that there was a type of plane - a
Jackall - nope, this was the South African Version - furry, four legs,
breathing and IN THE WAY!!! Take care all!!

And when I mentioned a fox, it was also the real furry kind, as opposed
to the kind with wings and "Kit" on the front...though I have seen a few
of those too at my airport. Fun to watch them on a windy day, so long
as you're not #2 behind one in the pattern..."Goose, too close for
missiles, I'm switching to guns". :-)
