Generally, excellent.
Particular credit to the ATC controllers, and the Air Cadets who worked long and hard. I sincerely hope someone was well organised enough to take cold drinks round to the cadets and give them regular breaks, all too easy to forget them.
Flew in with Jodel on the Friday, and Europa on the Saturday.
ATIS had lots of problems. Dropout on Friday (as has been said), and very low modulation on the Saturday, when it was a lady's voice, so that we couldn't hear the full text until within a couple of miles.
It was a nice touch to get a free bottle of water from Pilot magazine on the Friday when booking in. I didn't therefore take any water with me on Saturday as I was expecting the same. Unfortunately, was told when booking in on Saturday morning that all the water had gone by then????
Yes, some pilots made mistakes, and I had one climb up in front of me when I was established on final (slick controller offered me the hard runway and I switched to that), but in general I thought the piloting was better than at many fly-ins I have attended.
See you all next year and congrats to the organisers.
