A small trip last Friday with my dad as passenger, Newtownards, around the Mourne mountains, up to Enniskillen, returning via a more direct route as the sun started to set
Ignoring the reflections, Newcastle, Co Down, and the almost inviting sea!
Southern end of the Mournes, with Carlingford Lough ahead, and the Republic of Ireland to the left.
Town of Rostrevor, peaking out from behind the mountain
Crosswind to land at Enniskillen, over picturesque Lough Erne
Finals to Land rwy 33.
Ah the sun! The weather had been dodgy all day, lots of low ceiling bkn convective clouds around. Not long before we arrive we broke into this! It stayed this way all the way home.
Sitting on the ground, at a picnic table, sipping an ice-cold coke, basking in the sunshine, and sharing all this with your long suffering dad... priceless!
Oh, and wouldn't mind a go in this sometime!
looks like fun, what with all the lakes around!

Flying pix
Hi, folks, Just found this forum. Fantastic pix. Thanks for sharing them! I hope to be able to see sights such as those as I start to get further afield. Living in the northwest of Scotland, I have some stunning scenery on my doorstep but not always the weather...

(I already posted this elsewhere, but please bear with me while I try to get the links to display the way I want them...)
Well, now I'm a member of the Real Aero Club de Baleares at Son Bonet!

(But only for one more day, because a one-week-membership is the shortest they offer.)
I booked with Cesca under the aforementioned number and got checked out in their PA28-161 EC-FXS from Son Bonet airfield (LESB) by a very friendly English lady named Valerie, and then rented the aircraft for another hour. The condition of the a/c is okay but not great, as are the prices.
Here's a few pics of our trip:

The ferry to Menorca?

All in all it was a very nice trip! Highly recommended!

Just a few from this year:
Compton Abbas during the BAeA Aerobatics Competition
Shobdon, August 2007:
Evening Visitor
Sywell 2007
Probably my favourite;
Not sure if this last will turn out well on here, if it can't be seen I'll remove it.
Night Visitors, Shobdon, September 2007
And finally, one which represents a significant personal achievement;
G-BFZT at Duxford, August 2007

Maybe not comparable with all the very nice pictures here in this post, but for me emotionally it is!! Leaving for my first solo on EBAW runway 11, taken by the instructor in the tower who told me minutes before: "So what do you think, try one on your own hu ?" in which i stumbled.. sure why not!
Well, today I took my 6-year old for his first glider ride. It was 70 degrees out, 30 miles of visibility, just a little bumpy.
Ended up just being a sleigh ride but that was ok. As we were rolling down the runway he was so excited I thought he was going to levitate us and wing us past the cub.
Before I took my son up in the glider, I took him up in a 1946 C140. I joined the 140 club partly for the purpose of introducing my kids to flight. I have access to a super cub as well as the gliders, but side-by-side seating can't be beat for being able to project confidence to your child.
