Well, that was fun
Needed to do a revalidation for my microlight instructor rating and decided to combine it with an autogyro course with a view to getting the licence (France, microlights) Spent Wednesday driving to the venue in torrential rain, Thursday sitting in the club while the rain continued, Friday flying a Magni as mildly bewildered student, Saturday being revalidated, and today being sent off solo. Still need some more dual and solo to finish the syllabus, but it seems I will probably be driving home on Thursday as a very Junior sort of rotary wing pilot. It's an interesting challenge, and I can recommend it to anyone currently looking for a new experience. They go whop, whop, just like helicopters, but that's where the resemblance ends. Oh, and Avignon has some good pubs.
