Hi all, I'm flying from Newcastle airport on Sunday (26th) and returning in a couple of weeks on the 9th Aug. Car parking at the airport is extortionate so I wanted to see if anyone who lives nearby would like to earn a few quid in return for a car parking space. Let me know if that's you! Cheers, A...

The event will be on the 20, 21, 22 of June and will have ballon drops, acro displays, stalls, model aircraft, ground handling seminars, beer te...

It sets me thinking –how extraordinary it was that a film crew was there on this day to record this incident. I have been flying for along time, and have seen two incidents requiring helicopter when the flyers realized helicopter was arriving they all landed Immediately. And on this day! http://www...

And Steve, your paraglider impression was done to perfection!

I'm not suprised Gordie, it's brilliant! Well done. I can see you at the oscars...!

PS: what are the likely dates for the LCC next year? Same again?

Greetings to all old friends from aeons ago. I know it's a matter for personal opinion and experience but a few of those would be welcome on the subject of a suitable type of glider and kit to go for when I eventually take a training course and come out on the hill again. Just general stuff really....

Andrew Maltby wrote:Which glider have you bought, what were your reasons, and what is its performance and handling like?

Lemmie guess... Skywalk Chili, because Northern are selling them at trade price if you fly only Skywalk wings for a few years!

Hi Geoff, try ex Surface to Air owner, Sam Cullingworth. He has a fantastic place at the foot of Mendos mountain with views of Babadag and a 10min drive from Olu Deniz. The cattle trucks up the mountain pass by near his place too. Not sure how much he charges per night or what his vacancies are like...

Also to consider, the Niviuk Artik - great handling in its class, which is where the top performing gliders fall down. Good safety, quite a low end 2. Excellent performance and glide (that's what Artik means in Inuit) We've had fantastic feedback from pilots flying them such as Steve Etherington who...

I see, thanks for the heads up Steve.
