Breathe a sigh of relief about your insurance premiums - the Auster went this morning.
The sight and sound of the aircraft climbing away at 7.00am from a frozen field on a crisp beautiful still morning was a joy to behold - and at a time when you would struggle to hire a club machine.
A correct risk assessment by the pilot, no drama, no nuisance.
9-5 club flying might be fun for you but there are broader horizons out there if only you were to taste the spirit of adventure rather than just read about it and sniff.
Anybody out there done any mountain flying on skis? I bet thats fun. Bush flying too. There are plenty of people around the world who rely on their stick and rudder skills for a living and who would laugh at the fuss made by you sceptics over this incident.
Anyway - it prompted an amusing thread!
