Last video of 2018

Two flying days of 2018 really stand out for me, three if I include my last flight of the year which I shared with Dani, Wim and Sophie’s granddaughter who’s an aspiring pilot.

The ones that I’m talking about were a pair of glorious days in September, on the 15th when I did a flight by myself in the Savannah around my ‘usual’ local airfields and on the 16th when Wim and I flew our Weedhoppers together to a fly-in and barbecue at Ste-Foy-la-Grande in the Gironde, landing along the way at a small, recently opened private airfield at Campsegret.

I’ve already put up links to my flights on the 16th of September and in December with Dani, but to date I haven’t done a link to the flight I did to Ste Foy with Wim. That’s now remedied below.

The day was organised by Club ULM Evasion based at Ste Foy, a very friendly bunch of people, and we had a great afternoon there. Our flight was unusual in that it was the only time that I’ve known Wim’s usually impeccable dead-reckoning navigation to let him down, and for once I found the field at Campsegret before he did, as shown in the video. On our west coast tour in 2015 it was always the other way round!

This is my last 2018 video and I can’t wait for the new season to start so I can get cracking making some more. After my multi-cam experiments when I was borrowing Victor’s 2CV I’ve already got some ideas about what I want to do, so watch this space 😉
