It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears. — Helen Keller, at age 74, on flight around the world, news reports of 5 February 1955
Great to watch. Brings back some fun memories of flying with the Wellington Aero Club.
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed watching it. It's still fun out here at times, one of the biggest crosswinds I've had in a while :-)
That certainly was a serious crosswind. Some readers may not know that crosswinds are rare at WN; at least crosswinds you can fly a GA plane in. Good landings in the circumstances, Rodney.
Thanks Andrew.You are right, we rarely get a flyable crosswind, so it was good to get up that day!The landings went rather well - maybe I'm my own worst critic or something, but still a bit of technique to work on :-)Cheers, Rodney
