Busy few Days, and had to cancel flying yesterday due to crazy high wind.. very unusual for Motueka.. so we went to Nelson, and saw a movie.. 2012.. great fun, and seriously unbelieveable, especially some of th flying scenes, but quite easy to watch, and provided some mindless entertainment!! So we had Joanne from Ireland who didn't swear on video then Rolf from Germany who completed all sorts of manouvers, Ivor and Natalie from the UK, Chi from Calgary, and Ryan from Australia. Always interesting to see that with very little instruction at all, people with no previous flying experience can quite capably fly the Pitts Special through rolls, loops, 4 point rolls and even combinations like a Cuban Eight. Excellent fun and delighted people.
Today, thank heavens, the wind has stopped, and the flying is smooth. Lots of smoke from a pine forest south of here that caught fire some time yesterday.. looks like its under control now, would have been hell if the wind hadn't stopped.. anyway.. we've 3 more people flying this afternoon, so gotta go get ready..
