| Flight details: | Slightly thermic but broken a.m. 450ft ATO. Smooth OR to Beddingham, returned to sleety gust front in front of take-off, sucking up to 520ft ATO and still going up - had to head out across the field to lose height to come in and land. Overshot the first attempt. Good day for January. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU-JIZZLxks P.S. Camera memory filled up moments before the landing. |
