There seems to be a dearth of action so far this year, no doubt abetted by the poor weather, so I'll kick off this year's achievements myself with the happy story of soloing my own aircraft
It feels like ages ago since taking possession of her last year. According to the logbook it was about 5 hours in the air and 35 T/O and landings... Mixed with the weather and some electric gremlins which grounded us for a while - time certainly flies even if we don't. But yesterday Julian hopped out. Never too sluggish even at MTOW, being now 15% below MTOW, she leapt into the air with just me on board
Oh, what a beautiful morning...
Oh, what a beautiful day...
I have a wonderful feeling...
Everything 's going my way
Having not quite avoided all the puddles at WW, I then spent half an hour freezing my hands off washing off the mud. All part of the fun
Thanks to Julian for his patience...

We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
