After enjoying an evening meal with Wim and Sophie on Wednesday, which I always do very much, Wim and I were talking about my plans now that the purchase of the X-Air has fallen through. He said that his friend Victor, who is a Citroen 2CV fanatic and has recently restored one that now looks as though it’s just come out of the showroom, is training for his French ULM licence at an airfield about 60km away where dual tuition is only 60\u20ac per hour. He suggested that I might like to go with him next time and I agreed that it was a good idea, because as well as getting some local flying in with a French instructor and keeping current (remember, I haven’t properly flown since April when I flew MYRO down from the UK), I could use it as an opportunity to get my French licence too.<\/p>\n
I’ve since spoken with Victor who has now gone off for a week or so in his 2CV to Spain to visit his son, so we’ve made plans for us to go flying together on Saturday 15th September. This will be subject to weather, of course, but hopefully there won’t be any problems on that score.<\/p>\n
I’m really looking forward to it and the chance to meet some other ULMistes and get involved in the local ULM scene \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
