Todays Met for Hamilton:
Pretty typical for the last month, hence no flying and no activity here. Its ironic that for a lot of the previous months its been financial issues which have grounded me, only to have the weather chip in when I finally get some money. I have our annual club competitions coming up soon and I'd like to get some practice in beforehand. Just so my competitors know I have entered in:
Bombing (now this is fun, and I believe everyone should give it a go)
Life Raft Dropping (flying without a door on is fun enough, but you get to throw things out as well!)
Circuits (I only do this to have a crack at the grid landing)
Landings (see above)
Forced Landings (well I haven't practised one of these for ages so it will be interesting to say the least)
If any of you lurkers are in NZ and want to have a go, come along. You don't have to be current, as an instructor acts as air judge (and instructor for those who need it). I would recommend that as a prerequisite you are comfortable with handling a plane in a circuit. Contact the Waikato Aero Club (link is in the side bar) and come have some fun.
