Not a vintage year of flying for me. I aim to fly about 80 hrs a year, but so far this year have flown fewer than 40. Far too many "Waltham-Waltham" entries in my logbook, although at least a fair few of these were aerobatic trips. I took my solo aerobatics up to a modest standard, but then had long lay-offs and lost aerobatic currency. Flirted with idea of getting involved in classic jet syndicate, but nothing came of it.
No particular milestones, but one day of exceptional memories: sharing my aircraft with Typhoon, Spitfire and Hurricane pilots during Project Propeller at Kemble.
Next year:
- more aeros, more sophisticated aero sequences
- longer European trips (just a couple of Deauville hops this year)
- keep trying to persuade people to come in with me on that Fairchild Argus
- maybe an IMC, not sure
- maybe read the 97,000 page instructions for the GPS, and turn it on some times
