From: "Malcolm Austin"
Subject: Log Book Review


Hi Jack,
when I returned to gliding in 2001 after exactly 30 years,
I looked through
my log book for some memories.

I too have just returned to gliding after an almost 30 year break. How did
you find it Malcolm? I was amazed to discover that for me it was is if I had
never been away, even though I was flying an ASK21 rather than the ASK13
which I flew last in 1978. It may have been something to do with 500hrs of
simulator flying on Condor (surely the best flight sim ever) of course.

I had to hand over my log book to the course instructor at the beginning of
my week's flying. He was a bit surprised to see 500+hrs, 2100 sorties, and a
Silver C in it. I too used to write something about almost every flight.
