Dakota Formation!

Yippeeee! A flying day today… After all the party excitement of the last few days. We’re off to do some formation flying with a Dakota from Air Atlantique for the wedding of Mustafa’s friends. We got to Cambridge airport nice and early and watched a “student” go solo in an Extra while we waited for the Dakota to come in. Debs tried her luck for a ride on the jump seat, but was out of luck with it being a commercial flight and she wasn’t crew!! So instead we all went in the Yak and Debs got some great pictures of the Dakota… while the Dakota pilot got some great pictures of us in the Yak!! Time to swap them on email soon I think. I loved the formation bit because everyone on board was looking at me and waving - it’s great being a famous loveable bear :-) then we found out that the TV cameras were on board and we featured in the late evening news - brilliant… I’m really famous now - “Pudsey - the Flying Bear” :-) I really love this flying lark. Long may it continue!! :-)
