A very BIG thank you to Free Spirit who took me for a flight in her Samba yesterday up near Ras Al Khayman!! Awesome flying in very brown terrrain; very "old" mountains that are so rugged. Saw turtles in the sea, flamingos and camels browsing in an estuary.

Very nice flying club (Al Jazirah Aviation Club) which is the only GA airfield in UAE with some limitations on where you can fly. Basically it is flying around quite close to the patch but sometimes they do get permission to do some cross-country.

When you are here, head to this airfield and you will not be sorry.

Thanks again to Free Spirit!!!

I'm afraid the trike guys will get withdrawal symptoms here. Only 2 trikes in the club!! :shock: :shock:

Anyhow, I posted some pics on Avcommers, also of our very special National Day cross country flying. It was AWESOME flying formation over Dubai.
