Mmm.

Good and bad.

This year:

* Bought a new plane - broke it straight away! (should be flying again soon once I can get the Bl@@dy thing to go)
* Spent a lot of time working on my Fury - still not flying.. rahhh!
* Had some really nice trips in the Cub - Duxford was good..!
* Finally got the Spezio flying after 3 years yey. Then sold it
* Scared myself stupid in the Fred - loss of control at 150ft..
* Crash landed the Fred after an engine failure - Still being repaired.
* sold the Talorcraft (was a bit of a dog he he)
* introduced my friend to flying - he's now having lessons.
* logged 86 hrs so far this year - that's low for me, I've been busy working you see.

Next year:

*Take my Cub to Normandy to celebrate the 60th anniversary of D-Day.
* Get the Fury back in the air.
* think about doing my CPL (I want to instruct)
* spend less time tinkering, more time flying (yeah right)
* do Dawn to Dusk
* do some flying in the states
* fly into more 'real' airfields before my procedural skills slip.
* do some gliding, maybe buy a K6 or something..

Let's see how I do...
