Flying anything exciting - Sukoi 37?

Wow - must be quite an experience - looks like visibility would be excellent.

The vis is good when it's not hazy which been a problem this summer but it does get bloody hot in there when the suns out. As a little design feature is that the pipe to feed cold air into the cockpit runs over the oil cooler so you get warm air. Getting close to doing my first solo just have to do a few more hours and my avaition law exam (how dull is that book) and my medical which I must remember to book.

I like the idea of flying (tho not gliding), but I made a conscious decision not to learn because I thought I'd be disappointed - it wouldn't really be like Top Gun ! Some things I think are better left as dreams (for me).

Go and take a lesson, just like motorcycling in 3 dimensions.

Notting hill carnival is cool if you don't mind being crammed in with loads of other folks, not being able to move and drinking loads of red stripe... so pretty cool all in all. saturday isn't the best day to go tho.

Since the carnival is only sunday and monday, you could end up wondering what all the fuss is about...

Er, oh yeah, thanks for that, its the museum for us so

Bah weekends turned pants.

Got a call Saturady morning from the flying club, the plane I'm supposed to be flying has developed a fault with the flaps ( they won't raise) so it's been taken off to get fixed. went down to pick up the ST and the cheque hasn't cleared in my account yet so couldn't pay them. One very unhappy wife at home.

Tried telling her that she's now got a long weekend to do the housework rather than riding her new bike didn't go down to well..
