Was he talking a very high voice?????

This was AFTER his flight.

The grin was huge.
Half cuban followed by full cuban 8 then he was told to treat the clouds as the 'ground' and do some 'low level'.
He said that was great, just racking it round the 'hills'.

So who is the bloke in the image below TDC?

Paul looks good, seems ok. Didn't get too much of a chance to talk to him, but allegedly he does have a bit of a reputation for chucking it about a bit.

All of his landings today started with a run and break to port really racking it round into a downward spiral rounding out onto VERY short finals (looked like they were about 10m then landing). Touchdown was literally directly below the start of the break. Every one of his cadets came back with big smiles.

Dad you forgot to mention that I got to do the radio as well

Wow

The dream I always had as a teen, but my local ATC folded, so I had to opt for Army Cadets instead. Man I missed out :((

Nick, you seem like one of the proudest Dads alive :ymapplause:

Yes I am very proud of Tom and his brother Will who is 14 tomorrow (aka King Willy).

Great boys.

Bloody hard work most of the time but great guys. ~x(
