Only 15 hours but feeling much better about flying now than I was at the opening of the year.
Spent the first half of it trying to buy an aircraft during lockdown which was an utterly joyless chore.
Coupled with the expensive endeavour of renting to try at stay at least vaugely current.Tommyhawks are always comfortably familiar so pleasant flying but oh the cost!
Eventually picked up when we located and bought an aircraft and I started the slightly nerve racking process of becoming familiar with it and rebuilding currency and comfort with wind and weather.
Was having to really push myself to fly in anything other than perfect conditions.
Then a few weeks later, went and spent two summer holidays and 18months worth of lockdown flying budget all in one big glorious hit at Ultimate High to do the aeros rating.
And now I’m downright fidgety every time I’m on the ground for more than a day
Hoping we get a nice mild September so I can get good and familiar and get back to flying out and about to new places again.
And nosing about for what I can find to fly upside down around here…
