First Soaring Experience

You might want to see our Blanik L13, and what happens if you decide
that it's a great idea to floor one of the rudder pedals whilst stalling
:-)

Awesome! That's *exactly* what it looked like!

Would you (or anyone) mind if I added this video to our Aviation Video
webpage? (See it at http://alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm )

(And, dude -- you guys really need to invest in some "Round-Up" spray-on
weed killer before your runway returns to dirt! :-)

Not at all! Glad you liked it.

Sigh. There's all sorts of things we'd do with that airfield.
Unfortunately, things are 'complicated' with the owners of the field
(which is part of a farm). All being said, the surface hasn't held up
too badly since it's laid untouched since the end of the second world
war...
