Millman sends in some pics

April 17th, 2009

Just like offer a special note of thanks to Steve for hosting the Easter weekend at Forbes. His boundless enthusiasm and willingness to just ‘get out there and do it’ was instrumental in keeping us motivated despite pretty average weather conditions.

Have a look at this picture to see the conditions on Sunday morning.

This is how things changed later in the day.

Goes to show, never write the day off too soon…. Thanks for the nice tow above cloudbase, Steve. 

Thanks also to the folk from the aeroclub. They are a friendly bunch who made us very welcome.

Certainly hope to do it again soon.

Cheers,

David “Millman” Phillips
