Grand Day Out 2

Postby GraemeSmith » Tue Feb 15, 2022 7:36 pm

Made it onto the ice at B18-Alton Bay today. Just after the overnight thaw freeze had created a no braking action Zamboni smooth surface. Not helped by a swirling wind that had me landing in a head/left cross/tail wind.... 4 hours flying and a lot of low level turbulence. I'm waffled!!

On final for 01 in a head / left cross / tailwind. Zamboni smooth and slick today

I have 9 of these. This year/today's was the hardest to earn. Conditions were so slick.

Still laughing at your hat Graeme. Say, which end of the Arctic Fox are you poking your head out from?

Great effort getting into Alton Bay though.
