Well done, T-M
Aerbabe, sorry for belated reply to your qestion about 19 pages further up. I don't really mean to shoot down the Chilterns Chipmunk, just to get the better of it in a turning contest. Whoever flies it is a cheerful soul who, if he or she sees another aerobatic aircraft, tips in and requests a dance.

Next year we WILL get you up in the Chippy. As for the turning contest, MMMMMmmmmm, see you North of Whisky 2500 feet!!!. Only joking. Think the little rallye would be best for out turning. Just had a thought. Would you like to do a Chippy flight on the 17th ? We are getting the toy box out
Regards
Wide
PS the \Chipmunk that out turned you wasn't just south of Princess Ris about 3 months ago?

Cheers Wide, I do plan to be at WLAC on the 17th, if only for runway hopping through the clag, so any chance of a Chipmunk jaunt would be greatly appreciated. I might even bring my tasteful flying suit.
I naturally attempt to blame getting burned by that Chippie on my passenger, who didn't like pulling g (a good enough excuse for my gash flying). It was near Princes Ris, but not three months ago, so that's your claim unconfirmed.

A good year
This year 2003:
* Flew a glider for the first time in about 25 years - wonderful
* Spent 1 day in the F16 simulators at Luke AFB Arizona. Got shot down 3 times. Only shot my adversary down once and that was when he was established on the ILS! Hopeless.
* 1 hour Left hand seat in a twin for the 1st time under instruction - Beech Duchess in the States. Again good fun.
* Engine failure in friend's C177 near Scampton. Managed to get it on the ground at Wickenby. Lots of lessons learnt. Change of underwear.
* Drinking beer and whisky under the stars at the RSA rally at Chambley in July, with my tent and my Arrow next to me with good friends.
*Learning all about diesel engines in giving Mark Wilksch a lift back from RSA.
* Weekend in La Baule and Quiberon in the sun - two of my favourite places.
Next year:
*More French touring as always
*Another long weekend in Phoenix with all types of flying.
*Flying safely
*2 skiing hols combined hopefully with a go at the Courcheval ski ramp in a Jodel or Robin.
Events always turn out different to those planned for me

Highlights of this year
added CRJ 700 and 900 and EMB170 to log book
Flew some Texan rellys to France for lunch
Low lights
Havent flown enough
Havent done the tail dragging conversion
Havent managed to pursade Mrs R that aircraft ownership (or part ownership) is a good thing.
Next year's ambitions fix the low lights
