Congratulations Ralf! It sounds like it was a wonderful flight and a very special milestone away from the circuit. I can't imagine what it must be like to fly into such a large airport in a microlight. Presumably you have to be paranoid about wake vortexes? Good luck with your practical exam. -Stuart ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo! Mail is the ultimate force in competitive emailing. Find out more at the Yahoo!
