Which Airwolrd Hawk Mick?
So far I have only seen a Skygate hawk here at that belongs to Q8 Hawk ( on RCU ) Hi Andrew. I have a GPS reading ( Weatronic ) in the uk that shows the average speed of 3 runs into wind and 3 runs downwind of 298 mph. I was doing this because at the time I was looking at trying to break the current registered world speed record of 256 mph ( I think )
Fasisal is the main man when it comes to keeping this fleet of aircraft airworthy and a pretty good pilot as well. Thats another one of the things that has surprised me, and thats the flying standards over here. Again I didnt know what to expect, but when I was asked to come out and provide some tuition I kind of expected the worse. After the first day it became really apparent that there was not that much needed doing, and yesterday proved it, when my host pulled of a better landing with the big citation than I did! The likes of Faisal, achmoud ( Sorry for the spelling ) Q8 Hawk and a few of the others I have seen fly have really impressed me with how far they have come under self tuition. there is a real diversity of flying styles here. From the smooth precise flying of Q8 Hawk ( Which I think with a little bit of refinement would make a great jet masters pilot ) to the ball$ out 3d flying of some of the guys on the Loaner euro sport.
Ehab... I would love to come to the land of smiles, and I am trying my hardest to free some time up to spend with you guys, but I think my next trip sees my in the sunny dominican.
I need to convince Kraivuth to build a plane for me, then that way my trip to Thailand will be purely business
