QNH - you are far too kind.

All I intended to do was to take MichealJP59 for a loop and swoop in the general handling area but ATC had a much more "fun" plan: "Please play in the o/head!" I kept it all well above 1500'agl for the noise to permeate far and wide!

I showed Mike an aileron roll, he immediately showed me two more then we went off and I looped, Mike looped, Mike looped again and floated in 0G far better. A roll off the top followed by a 1/2 Cuban into an avalanche into a stall turn, 1/2 slow roll to inverted............... still inverted........... 1/2 slow roll to errect, big wing over to final and then a pretty poor landing!

A couple of beers in The Place in Broomhill, then a quiet but nice old pub for an abf (absloute bloody final) then back to t'hotel for some zees.

The three of us left today at 14H15 (I'd been to "school" all morning whilst the other two went shopping). V obliging controller allowed us a 3 ship formation departure.


I LOVE SHEFFIELD CITY AIRPORT
