Just back from a 4 day gliding course at RAF Syerston. What else can I say other than it was an excellent course with the most fantastic weather! I'm only a couple of launches away from becoming an instructor now and i've been doing themalling (1 hour 20 mins), aerotows, aerobatics and spinning! It's been ACE!

SHORT VIDEO CLIP OF SPINNING THE VIKING :o 8-)


So here's a selection of pics:

i love spins! At least the intentional ones anyway.  ;)  Looks like a lot of fun.

Is that an RAF issue floppy hat. If so, which stores do I get it from? ;D
