outkast Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 just found this old pic, its of me after having my first flight at the flagpole, it got me thinking, as theres no more flying at the flagpole, there will be no more first flights from the flagpole, how many people had their first flight from there and maybe we should have a roll call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilc Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My first flight was at the flagpole on New Years day 2010, with Simon and the two Colin's........... Great memories..... Neil.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yep, my first flight was at the flagpole. Still on YouTube and getting a few views still. From the air I called it 'The Bermuda Triangle' Great times - shame there is no other sites area there you can fly from. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Was a top spot for camping too, once you got up the hill..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spigot Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Ah the good old days. Taking off uphill with a severely underpowered motor (RIP the pink thruster) landing downhill, missing the spot and continuing to the bottom as the ground fell away. Or just simply flying straight into a tree on take off. Good times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
