Well after a full on day yesterday Jim D (Dorset) was back rested and up for more. Jim was joined by Barney A (N Devon) on the hanger putting both of them on day three of their courses. The "old hands" were joined by Chris M who was down on his honeymoon from London and his new wife Fay had treated him to day off, looking good for the future ;)
Jim gets the Falcon rigged for another day of fun and flying
Whilst I worked through the basics with Chris Jim set to on his EPC exam and Barney also caught up on some theory. By the time Chris was ready to go they other guys had rigged the Falcon so we were set for a fun afternoon.
Jim sets off on another flight
now there's something you don't see every day !
Chris had a ball on his Taster day putting the flights across the field and was soon off the side tethers and to be fair I was not doing anything on the Kingpost one except having to keep up! By the end of the day he was well pleased and yes we would have him back on his "days off".
Jim turns away at the top of the tow
Barney follows suit ....
....... and heads for home
Jim and Barney worked well together and matched each other flight by flight as they moved through the EPC tasks with release flights and turns before moving higher and higher and finally both finishing off with a couple of flights to the top each so starting their CPC's.
Barney just loving it
Jim as cool as ever
They were chuffed to say the least and with bait of luck will be back soon to capitalise on their success, watch this space .........
