Got an aircraft and some half decent weather today at last!
Started off at 12k
Then moved up a couple of notches for some HALO
Sweet! By the way, anyone want to do some more interesting army stuff, we've got a selection running in September.

Not a problem, I took a 75 year old up for a tandem a couple of weeks ago!

Awesome!
Hope your good weather jinx rubs off on me! Am three high flights away from finishing my club pilot hang gliding qualification, been waiting weeks for a good day.
Won't put in any pix though, as the only one I've got is of me losing a fight to a high bale on a nil wind landing!
