June Fly-in event
EHM-0654 Murray:
Again, I have a bucket-load of screenies to go through after the TdF coverage on Eurosport, but here's the Part 2 report:-
PIREP - LSZB to LFMH
The flight back to St Etienne wasn't too bad. Participants were myself, Razza (EHM1343) and in his first online event, Javier (EHM1821).
Things started a little badly for Razza and I. We were both on voice, but the tower controller was having no luck whatsoever (he could hear but not transmit). And poor Javier was forced to run text-only. Any way, after a lot of faffing around, we all got into the air and Javier was given the lead (Razza was flying orbits waiting for Javier and I to get into the air, I took off last to make sure Javier was "happy")
We tracked pretty much direct, and I'm hoping I got a screeny or two of the shenanigans we got up to before entering LFMM CTA (who was online) Did either of you two see me inverting "over" Javier...? ;)
METAR wise, it was almost the opposite of the previous day; not too cloudy in Switzerland, very cloudy in France.
Descent and approach went well for Razza and I, but Javier wasn't really prepared for a CTR controller that only had voice, so Razza coached him through the circuit as I was landing. We all got down safely though.
EHM-1343 Jonathan:
Yup, thanks murray was a great event, and with a few more of those beautiful EHM Birds in the skies above Switzerland and France.
Special congratulations to Javier, after messing up to left hand circuit entry, he made a nice right hand circuit before landing sweetly on the tarmac.
Another smashin' event MC...hopefully we can get it advertisied a bit more next time.
EHM-0654 Murray:
Yup, will definitely be trying to announce with a lot more notice.
And in one of those "ARSEFLAPS!" moments, despite my turning on Fraps (and I am sure I started the d**n screenshot mode) I didn't get a single screeny from the second fly-in. Not happy :(
EHM-1883 Matt:
I am so sad I couldn't make it. While you were all having fun, at exactly the same time, I was in a pit, playing the violin:@
Javier, had did it feel using VFR instead then?
EHM-1671 Ben:
Haha, yes, last night you were with me on MSN putting up with my little emotional moment ;)
