Castillonnès

I shot a short video at Castillonnès last week-end, before I went for my flight in the Hurricane with Vincent. You can see it if you click on the following pic.

As you can see, as mentioned in my earlier post, we were flying the Hurricane that has no pod or enclosure at all around the pilot and passenger. Funnily enough, you hardly notice this when you’re flying, but the view from the front seat is spectacular 😀 The video ends with Victor flying off to Belvès with Vincent and it was on their return that I had my flight that ended up with Francis signing the papers for my French ULM licence. It’s been raining almost steadily since then but if we’re lucky, from the look of the weather forecast, both of us will be able to get another flight in this Saturday. I sent my paperwork off at the beginning of the week and if I get my licence in time, I might get the chance to fly solo. However, I doubt that’ll happen because as we all know, things don’t tend to happen that quickly in France 😉
