Long time no blog for various reasons, mainly laziness. So here’s a bit of a catchup of some exciting happenings.
Instructor. Yes, I’m a gliding instructor after some training with the Chief Flying Instructor at Camden. I’m the lowest level of instructor, entitled to take members of the public flying and to teach them how to use the controls. I’ll take people for Trial instructional Flights (TIFs) and get experience before more instructor training later.
Airshow. Fabulous airshow at Temora on November 21. I flew in with Julian Holmes in Don Palmer’s Cessna 182. Luckily for me, Julian is an IFR pilot and the Cessna is a full IFR machine because we had full cloud cover over Camden departing and returning. Temora weather was clear and the airshow was a great experience. The IFR approach to Camden in the evening was easy, following a GPS path to the runway.
Cooks. Steve and Ginny Cook came to visit for a while from England. We enjoyed their company very much. Steve and I played golf with Norm – the girls went shopping! Great barbecue at the Arnotts in honour of the Cook visit.
