I can't stand it!

Postby Henni » Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:31 pm

Nearly five days without flying - the curse of having to work for a living! The holiday season spoiled me...

I'm so fortunate in that I live 3km's from Petit airfield, so when I open my little eyes and glance out the window and see good flying conditions I'm at the airfield within 10 minutes, normally fly 3 - 4 times /week. LOVELY

I agree, it is DISGUSTING !!!

And the way the WX is now things are not looking good for this weekend either :cry:

I have just checked and I managed about 65 hours over the holiday season (4 weeks), flying every day but the few days the WX was really bad.

Lets hope for the weekend....
Regards,
Rudi

Not much less than Rudi. Why do the super rich kill themselves with alcohol, drugs & abuse when so much fun can be had with their money? Man, if I was Elvis...

Here in Cape Town the wind is pomping haven't been able to get into the air since new years day. Looking at Windfinder.com it seems that we ain't going to get any joy for another week....maybe the perfect opportunity to do a bit of maintenance...like check the crank out..hehehe!
