Cuban 8 “small boy”

27/01/2007 by Pudsey.

Excellent… more hours added to my log book… they’ll soon be into double figres!! (Shame says Nigel - he’s into four figures!!) I’m sure it’s his age he’s talking about… ! Brilliant flight to Norwich - lovely clear blue sky - “good vis” they call it, (Seems like all pilot talk is strange - nothing normal!) We completed a Cuban 8 - hmm strange, but nice - you get a change to try it and then it all repeats itself! “Small Boy” came rushing out to take my photo when we arrived at Hanger 10… but he must be a poor aim as I can’t see myself in any of the pictures! He wants to get one of our “display take-off” - well he should have been at Elmsett - it was almost vertical - with a big push over at the top - weightlessness - weird - I’m an astronaut now! Debs also had a go at flying… hmmm, prefer Nigel - at least he keeps it at the same height! Didn’t have much chance to get to know Dale - had to get back before ‘night’! +3½ & -1 G today!!
