Jan,

Would you prefer Adelaarsdag?


I had my third Eagle flight a week ago. I’m getting more comfortable with the very twitchy handling, I’m making fewer mistakes and my G-tolerance is improving. I didn’t feel queasy at all, in spite of the G meter recording +5 G and -2 G. I commented to my instructor that I didn’t think we pulled that much G and he said “Adrenaline will do that to you!”

I did steep turns, rolls, stall turns, loops and a spin. I was very impressed with both the spin entry and recovery.

At the end of the lesson, I took a video of a spin performed by my instructor. I have always remembered a UAS QFI telling me he made himself sick in a Hunter by looking at the wingtip through a movie camera viewfinder, while doing a max-rate roll. I oriented my phone looking to the left, while I looked straight ahead!


For the benefit of people who know the area, we were making all of our noise west of Calgary, in a relatively uninhabited area about 8 miles northeast of Moose Mountain.
