Well following two weeks of Elementary pilots and a week of club pilots we've had reliably fab weather, super enthused student pilots(see our testimonials page) and a lot of fun, which pretty much sums up our first month back in Spain since Wales. We've celebrated great weeks of flying by BBQ´s and wicked paella cooked by master chief /pilot/mum, Nicola! The club pilot Course this October has been yet another great success – all seven pilots have qualified with over three hours soaring time....

A big congratulations to all our budding sky gods who came out to fly with us last week (5/5/07 � 12/5/07) and successfully completed their B.H.P.A Novice Club Pilot rating. It was another cracking week of weather with all the pilots getting over 20 flights each and racking up nearly 10 hours of flying from Algodonales to Mataslascanas on the coast just south of Portugal.

Winter flying rocks
