If that was this morning, I caught a glimpse of those curled up wing tips and heard the purr of that engine, was on the ground getting ready for a lesson (15 hours) when you headed off into the distance.

Demon... Thanks for sharing your most awesome experience! I wish I was there.

I personally want to thank you for starting this site. I have been inspired and since I have become involved here my passion for flying has just gone through the roof!

I am in a pub, solo, waiting for softness' car to be washed and needless to say, reading forums on my cell and writing about my own weekend in the sky!

Big D, DieselFan and I will trade you pics flying with an Elf if you share us some more pics of Numbi... Our Elfin trip was as special as ANY trip to Numbi can EVER be.

Big D! DieselFan? Care to respond?
