New hazzard in the sky (The Diesel kind)

Postby Big-D » Fri Jan 26, 2007 3:48 pm

We thought the day would never come but it seems old Dieselfan passed his MPL flight test this morning (^^)

Well done old chap. You have +-30hours and probably know more about the sport than most people with 200+ hours.

Now the real fun starts.

Would it not be nice if you could come hanger with your mates at AP....

Now its just a case of keeping your wheels off the ground.

And no diesel trikes please with all the smoke, 10min of circuits all air traffic will have to be grounded due to viz. :twisted:
