Just got the IRIS Tornado and I gotta admit, I'm absolutely loving it! ;D

Haven't flown it around Wales yet (waiting to get the SRTM back) but did a leisure flight around St. Maarten.

Just externals.

Interesting attempt at an approach to St Barthelemy Is. [TFFJ]

Gave up the landing when I saw how short the runway was, so went around the island...

After blasting around burning fuel, I decided it was time to return to Princess Juliana [TNCM]...turning towards the island in perfect weather...
Image

Landing didn't go too well, wheels on the floor way too late and brakes had trouble stopping me...this is why you don't overshoot at TNCM...

Thanks for watching,
Carl

I can imagine the headlines "Devastating Tornado at St Maartens...."

Always nice to see a post where people aren't afraid of showing they make mistakes  :) Human, and good for a laugh too  :D
