Congratulations to Michael Shannon who completed his Cross Country Endorsement on the 18th June 2019. After 3 landings on our taxiway to simulate out-landings, Michael was awarded his endorsement. Michael received his Bronze Badge only a few weeks prior to this achievement. Onward and upwards! Thanks to Dan Begley and Cecily Begley who were a great help to him on the day and to all instructors and tug pilots for making this possible.
Looking back on 2023, as usual one of the highlights was the autumn safari to Kerry. Storm Agnes knocked out some of the flying days, but we still managed to get flying. Here’s a picture of the K18 standing by to be launched into the air by a car tow. But what’s that “ground equipment” next
