Michael’s Flight Training Diary

Andy took pity on my ground-bound frustration, and invited me to join him cost-sharing on a bimble around Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire yesterday evening. And thoroughly pleasant it was too! Particularly interesting flying out of Brize, surrounded by very big planes and a very big runway. Andy’s so organised that I don’t even have to write the blog up. Thanks, mate. Indeed, hope to fly with you again.

The mid-summer “monsoon season” put paid to several bookings in a row over the last six weeks, delaying my pre-QXC flight again and again. Now the weather is nice, but the flying school is booked solidly for the next two weeks. The way these things come together with work commitments taking me away for a week at a time, it looks like I won’t have a shot at the pre-QXC until the second week of August, nearly ten weeks since I last flew.

Will I even remember how to fly?
