One of the two trial flight visitors was celebrating his 60th birthday, and brought all of his extended family (a group of around 20) to watch, making use of North Hill café then venturing out to a windy launch point for a successful and much enjoyed flight.
The 'Advanced Aerobatics' Course (for Instructors) started with Aerobatic Instructor Will Jones spending time on the theory then at around 2:00pm as cloudbase lifted there was time for Martin Woolner, Stuart Procter and JB to get some practical tuition. Figures flown included Negative Flicks, Flick Rolls, and Reverse Half-Cubans. The course continues tomorrow putting the Perkoz to good use.
Dan and Rob Hender enjoyed their respective hangar flights, with the aerobatics flights finishing around 17:30, when those remaining retired to the clubroom for a well-deserved drink and debrief. A good day enjoyed by all. - Karen King
