The next trainer I'm testing : the Atlas Impala MkI.

Taking off from Hoedespruit AB in South Afrika.  It's not exactly good flying weather : lots of clouds, lots of wind, lots of lightning, lots of rain .....  and lots of fun ;D

Image


Coming up above the clouds, things look much better up here.

Image


Image Now its time to "fly her brains out" (many thanks to Zapp Brannigan for this lovely quote ;D)

Image


Making some loops...

Image


She is handling just fine :)

Image


Showing off in the setting sun 8)

Image


Heading back into the clouds, looking for the runway

Image


Not the easiest landing, but all went well

Image


They should put a shelter here, everything's getting wet inside >:(

Image  


Hope you liked this series.   Dont know yet whats coming up next, I ran out of trainers.  Well, we'll see later   ;)

Wow! Very atmospheric and yet crispy.
Or as Bender would say:
"Eh- who gives a crap?"

Actually the Atlas Impala is a license-built Aermacchi mb326, built by South Africa.  They used it as a jet-aviation trainer and formation aerobatics aircraft.
