having fun
Done about 70 hours in the eight months since my PPL.
Just completed an IMC rating in PA-28, now have to convert
the experience to my plane.
Did the local fields, by myself and with friends. Worked on
grass short-field technique. Trying to convert my wife to
positive thinking about light planes (an uphill battle).
Some longer trips, Lydd, Exeter, into class D, Cardiff &
East Midlands. Best flight was taking my parents (~75)
on a Severn Bridge tour from Cardiff on a beautiful blue
and smooth day - they loved it.
Visited Popham for a PPrune fly-in, found the circuit a little
too exciting, got cut up by the Red Arrows going home.
Practised today for the TopNav exercise tomorrow, expecting
to be beaten by someone in a Tiger-Moth with a piece of string
and an egg-timer on current form and the handicapping.
