Loading up.... |
I travelled alone on the flight to maximise space for beer. However,
immigration didn't approve of having crates of beer on the seats and so I
had to just use the boot space... |
Following John's SF260 out, FSinn didn't have an SF260 so I replaced it with
a Bonanza... |
As Johns SF260 climbs up at a very impressive rate I open the throttles
and off I go |

Airbournnneeeeeeeeeeeeeee, clink clink, oops better not jerk this too much,
I don't want to return to the UK with a plane full of glass pieces and a
wet carpet. |
|
Using the instruments now to track towards GURLU. Not a cloud in sight! |
OOPS, spoke to soon... I decided to fly through them rather than descend
due to someone else being a couple of thousand feet below and there wasn't
much to see anyway |

G-NE Visual... G-NE roger, standard overhead join, report overhead,
traffic is a Cessna 152 in the circuit. |
'Downwind' Full flaps and gear down to slow down as we were number 2 to
the 152 now! |
Final, a little high but nothing to worry about in this thing, with the
152 just climbing out. |
Taxiing along 13 to the apron |

Time to unload, where's the car keys? |
Chocks in place, and all unloaded. Its time to go home! |
