Old familiar feeling

Went down to the field yesterday and spent most of the day there. Not many there but you don’t need many, do you, to have a good chin-wag and a few laughs 🙂

Bloomin’ cold so not much flying going on. I was very pleased to meet the other AX3 owner, John, for the first time, so we had a lot to talk about. John hadn’t flown since December so he thought it was a good idea to get his aircraft warmed up and get current again with a short flight. I can tell you that I was somewhat envious to say the least when he taxied out and took off on the short winter runway 😕 Even though it was a bit soft and soggy, he still needed barely half of it.

By the time I departed in the late afternoon I have to say I was glad to get back in the car and get warm again. But the best bit was enjoying that old familiar feeling again of being back on an airfield and enjoying the company of fellow pilots. There’s nothing quite like it, trust me 😉
