One of the guys from the office actually!

I'm fortunate that I work on site at East Mids Airport so when I was driving in yesterday and saw how nice the weather looked I phoned up the club and booked a plane for a lunchtime bimble. Was good that one of the guys from the office wanted to come with and split costs!

In a way it's a bit disappointing it wasn't my parents or wife first (I've had a plane booked the past few weekends for that but been thwarted due weather) but in a way it was good taking someone else up as I could get the stress of the 'first passenger' out of the way so when I do take family I'll be a whole lot more relaxed

Edit: the takeoff wasn't as nice as it could have been and didn't get to do the proposed trip to Ladybower due to a cloudbase a hell of a lot lower than predicted but the landing was a bloody greaser
