My first turbine flight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I did it! A slight crosswind around 5 and mostly overcast. Around 4:30 PM yesterday after the scale qualifiers at Gardner. As sick to my stomach as I was, I took her up alone!.....And got her back!!!
This was flight number 2 for my SM F-16, the maiden was performed flawlessly by a very knowledgable gentleman and seasoned 16 pilot, Thank you Jeff!. Had a bit of trouble getting the Falcon to light on gas for my flight, Some of the more experienced guys decided to bypass the onboard glow system and fire the plug manually, It fired right up and my heart started pounding but I knew I had to do it.
I really am fortunate to have had such a great group of guys with me on this adventure!!
I will post the video as soon as I get it!!!
I LOVE JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
