Fight for freedom to fly
I have just spoken to a microlight pilot who landed at my strip.
This single seat something potters around without any electrics at about 60mph and the pilot has to wear mountaineer's clothes.
He landed to ask if I had some spare fuel as he was getting more of a headwind than he planned on.
I gave him a couple of gallons and away he went, not a care in the world.
It will be a sad day when this aircraft requires a transponder etc, and this pilot looses the right to do what he is doing today.
