A Good Year

All in all, an excellent flying year for me I think.

* February - Finally took & passed GFT
* April - Realised club hire was not for me, hunted around for a group
* May - Found a great 172 group at my local field, converted to type - including a cross-channel trip.
* Late May - First solo trip over water (OK - only the Solent ). First Crab & Lobster experience!
* June - Marginal WX flight to my first PPRuNe fly-in (Sherburn)
* July - Flew the group plane back from Land's End (longest single leg so far). Flew in to RAF Mona.
* August - First P1 international trip, to Galway and back.
* September - Organised a 'works' fly-out to L2K.
* November - Started IMC training.

I'll log about 55 hours this year.

Next year I'd like to...

* Finish IMC.
* Have a couple of glider lessons
* Do a long international trip (Estonia?)
* Visit friends near Aberdeen
* Maybe think about a faster steed

And finally - get my front teeth fixed properly
