I felt the cold clammy hand of fear on the last Friday of April 2013. It wasn’t an irrational fear, like “oooh there is something under the bed” or a nervous fear like standing up to give a presentation; it was from the grim realisation that I had flown myself into a hole with no way out. I know my last article started by alluding that we should do one thing everyday that scares us, as some motivational way to grow and become a better person but I think, on this occasion, I might have taken that notion a bit too literally.

What about 1000 km. in a Standard Cirrus!? It was flown last Thursday and believing in the weather forecast from TOP METEO, Michael Ebel flew it and had the day of his life. As I heard from my Lasham friends Alix and Roy, who happened to be there it was shivers all over. Here is […]

The Pentecote- weekend was weatherwise not too good here. Only Sunday was OK and that only for a few hours ! The “poor” pilots flying a long weekend in Belgium, this time for the Kiewit Cup, had 2 cancelled days but the one in the middle was reasonable. 41 Competitors in 3 classes and in club the 5 […]
