Best present you have ever had from you other half
 

Well yesterday i got to use a voucher that my better half bought for me, a drive on track in an Aston Martin Vantage. The most exhilerating drive I have ever had and a lifes ambition achieved Aston Martin, sexy motor

I had the same for a birthday pressy at fairoaks airport,it was brilliant:) Then on another occasion got a brands hatch day, funny as f@@k with me and another big bloke trying to squeeze into a some of those single seaters .:eek: Good day out though.

Do you fly out of ncl or eshott? I've done a few thousand flights in my time

Mostly NIA David, few from Eshott in PA28 and micro/ultralight.

ATPL David ?

Going solo is the ultimate Bob,real bottle clencher and high as a kite for a week after.

I use to instruct on grob 103 gliders at raf catterick then morotgliders at raf topcliffe. Seems like a different lifetime ago but my first solo was the biggest adrenaline rush ever. I felt sick for about 2 days after I came down from my aviation high. Once my roadster is built maybe I may build a flitzer!

Few hours in the air then,done a few aero,s in the Bulldog but get motion sickness so keep away from it now.

If you fancy a ride or need a hand give me a shout,IMC and night qual.

I have always fancied a night trip. Have you got any links with the guy that runs the jet provost syndicate?

David

Night current so no probs,can find out about Provost as flying school owner is a friend of mine and they go airside through the club.

Will let you know.

Heh! A friend gave me a ride on Grob 103 Twin Astir six weeks ago! I made a flick with my phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-Qo2X6s4Q0
Too bad that building a glider does not seem like a very realistic DIY project.
