My last aerobatic flight (for a while at least...)

Well, I've enjoyed dipping my toe into the field of aerobatics but for now I've come to the end of the line. As with many things it comes down to cost v enjoyment. Aerobatics doesn't come cheap, although I think I managed to do it for as little as possible! However, since I started on this journey last september, I've also done two flying tours in my Shadow. The first in June was Fly UK which took me to the north of Scotland and back, the second in September took me to france for 5 days. Limited funds dictate that I can afford to do either aerobatics or touring and I've chosen to go with touring for now as I've found that although aerobatics is great for the duration of the flight, touring is fun throughout the whole experience.

My last flight in Nipper G-AVKI comprised loops, rolls, chandelles and most fun of all - spinning! I landed (as ever) with a big grin on my face and as I shut down I can't help but think how lucky I've been. It's been a blast...
