Recent flying events

It's been a while since I shared any flying-related photos - anyone might think I haven't been doing much!

In actual fact there have been a couple of things worth posting about:

Last weekend I flew the gliding club's towplane from Kaitoke up to Feilding to finish my glider tow training and get the rating signed off.

Today we had the Kapiti aero club Christmas BBQ and prizegiving. To my surprise I was awarded the cup for airmanship, in recognition for the various things I've done to prepare myself for MAF. It was a real honour.

I did my rating in our Piper Cub, BRP. A little less power, but still does the job.
