Post Anyone up today?

Come on, admit it if you were sad enough to fly on Christmas Day.

Were family to boring to be with or did you just have better WX than we did in central sth.

I flew last C'mas Day, and felt slightly lonely up there, vowed not to do it again and felt guilty when kids asked where i'd been !!!!!

Come on, own up....... <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Hi, how did you manage to wangle that? Normally they dont acept light twins, even bigish turboprops. What twin was it? did you park in the business aviation plaece near t4?

Thumbs up

Yeah! I flew today (Boxing day). A few Chippy aeros before the bad weather arrived from the west, then some interesting circuits at EGCB as it was quiet.

Nice!!

Hi Dude
We flew in in an Aztec to pick somebody up who had a real problem getting home on xmas day, and believe it or not we actually taxied to the royal suite honest !!
We taxied in, loaded up and were back in the air within about 20 minutes just in time to get back home for xmas dinner!

All the best.
