Circuits!

I had to go flying. It'd been seven months. Seven! I booked the hour and half slot in the middle of the day. And wouldnt you know, the two instructors checking out in the Robin went over an hour late. And the instructor following on from my booking was giving me the hurry up, and I wasnt even in it! There's no justice. Anyway it was good to catch up with friends at the club. Hadnt seen for ages. S even came in specially to say hi after seeing my name on the on-line booking sheet.

It was a beautiful beautiful sunny mild flying day. I just did three circuits, two touch an dgos, to make me passenger carrying legal for another 90 days. Two beaaautufl landings I did. The last not so much. Got complacent aafter the firrst two!/
