Loved the tank slapper take off. Still glad I opted for aero tow

Anyone interested in a full day back here, space for 3 people on the 10th August.

£95 for the day, you'll get 4/5 flights and be on the stick pretty much all of the time by the end of the day

PFD, are you still coming along tomorrow?

[gt111]

No I don't think he is.... which is good news for x27EVE as there is a place free

[Petrol feet driven]

Whoops sorry, I did post but in wrong topic. Sorry can't make it, so Patrick can have my placement.

[Bibs]

OK Dave' no worries. Less than 12 hours to go but we've got a space if anyone wants it!

[x27EVE]

Shit..... just seen this.... wtf

[Exige 1]

Perfect day for it enjoy.

Finally took the time to view you lot's previous day at the field. Most excellent! Green with envy, of course. Bibs' flight with the loop, chandelle, and "tower flyby" was a hoot. Yes, it did cut down on the total time aloft, but I liked his comment to the instructor, "Quality over quantity." Amen.

Enjoy "round two," you lucky dogs. My vicarious thoughts accompany you all.

Awesome days flying, some good thermals which meant we had a good flight of around an hour from the Aero tow.

In fact we were getting so much lift and we were late for lunch the instructor decided to do a bit of aerobatics too... A few loops and a humpty bump..... Pulling about 3.5G out of that one

I made a landing on my third time up without the instructor touching any of the controls apart from the brakes.

[Trevsked]

Good going I would think. Was tempted to come over at some point but time marched on and glad I didn't when I heard the traffic report last night.

Trevor.

[Bibs]

Can't wait to go back. Did the last 3 take-offs and landings, a lot easier than I was remembering but it was a long time ago, and I was only 16! Looking forward to next time

[Bibs]

Here's one of our instructors from the day out in the USA...
