Apologies for the late report, I won't bore you with my excuses.

Arriving at YCAB around 0815, it was just Garrett, Garrett and Garrett (Garrett Russell - Duty Instructor) ) busy preparing the day's operations. We had a quick chat on what we thought the day would entail and continued to DI CQC. Shortly after Theo Mus Jacob Mason, Steve Chapman (Tug Pilot), Neil Muspratt (Air Experience Instructor) and Karl Bodi all arrived, so GYK was unwrapped and DI'd also.

First flight of the day was Theo in GYK with Garrett from 06 followed by our first passenger of the day Mike Vincent with Neil in CQC. There were two AEF's Saturday, both flights exceeding an hour in duration leaving two happy passengers who definitely got their money's worth. Nice one Neil.

The rest of the day consisted of some training flights, currency check flights (including myself) and two flights from Speedy (Bernard Gonsalves) in the Kookaburra. Oh and Karl was kind enough to relieve Steve of flying the tug, only to Steve jump in the Blanik and fly behind SPA. 

All in all it was productive day at YCAB with two happy passengers, a bunch of training flights, some real "stick and rudder" flying for myself and a keen potential AEF that Steve found whilst refuelling (hopefully for the coming weekend).


Cheers,
