Benics fly in 17 December 2012

Postby D2O » Mon Dec 17, 2012 3:06 pm

We took off from Rhino Park where 2 others from Microland joined us to Benics. There were 8 of us in all.
A great fly in, and reasonably good weather. Finally got to fly my trike beyond the patch! vhpy
Had a terrible landing at Benics after 2 go arounds :oops: . Definitely need to practice more landings in turbulent conditions, but the coffee, great company and awesome landing back at Rhino Park more than made up for it.
Thanks to Boris for some great coffee and rusks (^^)
Not the best quality pictures from my "muk en druk" and really battled to take pics in the air, but here goes:

Thanks for sharing Noel & those that joined in the fun

Yeah short final approach on 14 was hairy and I'm sure a brown under pant moment for some of us :lol:

Thanks Boris for having us (^^)
