Yes the air was wonderful today and very still. The air was nice and cold and the Bonanza was lovely today and very fast.

There are way too many pictures of sunny CAVOK days here , so here is my contribution to balance things up a bit. Genuine Yorkshire Clag, flying westbound from the Humber Bridge along the estuary. My godson's very first flight - "The best day of my life - ever" was his quote, so I promised to take him up on a blue sky day soon for even better views.

This is one of the PA38s I learnt in (my favourite this one cos it did seem to cruise at 90N and not all of them could) parked up at Valencia international - my first visit to an international too, notable for a Ryanair plane waiting for me to land at the end of the taxiway. Yes it was as hot as the open door suggests !

That's all I've currently got on Photobucket - work firewall precludes uploads, so I'll have to post more from home.
