Friday 16th was another very windy day - straight across the strip. However the thermals were very good. James and Sean Davies had another flight each - they coped so well with the cross wind that I signed off that part of their training! However the conditions were not really suitable for emergencies and circuits so they were happy to leave a little early. They will be back next school holidays. James is now 15 and learning very quickly.
Last time Sean (father) and James(son) came, they were always telling each other to "deal with it". This saying caught on between my partner John and I. This time they kept telling each other to "harden up!" I have to say they managed to "deal with" the stiff cross wind conditions very well.
The same day Gerhard flew his Jantar, disappearing for most of the afternoon, Graham Holland flew his Jantar for a couple of hours and I did AFRs with Brian Du Rieu - who had flown in for the day from Europe specially - and Chris Carr.
Darian did an amazing job flying the tug - I reckon it would have been on the cross wind limit. I wouldn't have liked it but Darian just calmly "dealt with it"!
