Malcs Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Just checked the weather for Monday and it looks superb. It's my birthday too so I'll take the damn day off and sod it, see if I can get my best flight to date! Anybody wanna join me, might get up there Tuesday as well as that looks good too!

Malcs Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Great Mike, the more the merrier, am sure it will be fine with SW but of course we'll wait for his permission, not sure when they are all back from France? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardc Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 SW is, at the moment, sitting here in France finalising the course. He will be back in the UK for Sunday but he might want a day or 2 off to recover from a very hectic couple of months! I am sure he will be in touch later.

Malcs Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Looking too cold and windy now on Monday so I'm probably gonna go Tuesday instead although that may be too cloudy! Damn this sport sucks sometimes but at least I can be flexible with my days off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Malcs, They all did with one making it to QFI and four to AFI. They will doubtless give their perspectives when they have come to the surface. They will all be pretty knackered as will Piers, he gave 110% to his guys - very impressive. Paul dashed down by air through Poitiers to examine them (in a technical sense of course) and we cooked up a nice little exam for them to finish.

Malcs Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Great day yesterday, nice to meet Colin and Mike. First flight was bumpy and not particularly enjoyable even though it looked as though it would be silky smooth so after a break for coffee and sarnies Mike and myself took to the sky again at 6pm and it was awesome, went over the white horse and then came all the way back over to Membury and back again. 2 more hard cage landings for me though, gotta sort that out! Some pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/paramotorm ... 3027/show/ Oh, and I love this particular pic of Colin (Spigot) wondering why he couldn't unstick from the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learner_driver Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Tonight after work official sunset is 20:11 so you could technically be flying past 8:30. I went up last night and it was beautiful and smooth. I wish to go again tonight for about 6pm, the wind is forcast 4MPH blowing up the hill. Is anyone else interested?
