Yes, there is a story there. ;)

Hi Speechless

FC, who was one of the pilots, I believe, told me that most of the landing sites were fairly limiting and were only cat 'a' if the wind was in the right direction!

Apparently, on the tour itself the wind varied considerably, however it was always in the perfect direction for each landing site.

Guess it makes life easier if you have a direct line!!!

Cheers

P.S. FC Are you still out there and are you going to the reunion?

TeeS, FC doesn't read pprune as far as I'm aware. I passed on S2's message though.
