After my last hopeful post in March, it was another couple of months of bad weather, but a few weeks ago when the weather changed, it was good enough to make two flights in one day. It was a pretty challenging day, with a lot of other traffic in the circuit, and a few more reasons for it to be challenging.

Going round in circles
Since I last posted, I've had a few more lessons, all training for flying in the circuit. Since I've now described the circuits itself in great detail (maybe too much?), I'm going to change focus a little. Instead of trying to tell the narrative of each lesson, I'll write some shorter posts, each about one aspect of what I'm learning. I'll start with something I've noticed a lot more while hanging around the airport: traffic.
Stalling the Tiger Moth Part 2
After experiencing the stall last time, this time I get to do it for myself. But even making the aircraft fall out of the sky turns out to be less exciting than dodging other Tiger Moths, Spitfires, and even a Boeing 777.
Stalling the Tiger Moth
This weekend I got to experience the stall for the first time, and it wasn't as scary as I thought.
