Yes I know, I know, haven’t been posting much here. 

What do you do all day in the Philippines, Dave?

Well here’s what I did Friday.  (note, the video is not me, I didn’t have a video cam of a videographer along for the ride, but this one will do admirably …very much the same as my flight) I didn’t make such a precise approach, was a littitle high and hot (fast) …or so I thought   … had I been solo I would have gone around for another try, but my instructor said, no problem, just push the nose down .. good way to bust the nose gear off a Cessna, but out faithful, buzzy little Quicksilver just settled in a few hundred feet farther down the runway than this chap landed and I did even need any brakes.

First flight handing the controls in thirty years or more, and it was a real hoot.  I enjoyed it a lot.   Would I do it again?  You bet.  next time I think I’ll try a different aircraft, this one comes highly recommended.

The boys (my nephews, Mazen and Sami) were along for the day of course.  They were much more excited by the pool than by their tito (uncle) going flying … they stayed in the water until their skin looked like dried prunes and still didn’t want to come out … tey had to be bribed with their favorite green V-Cut potato chips and C2 ice tea.

As usual the food and drinks were good and quite reasonably priced, I like the act that the club doesn’t try to ‘stick it to” visitors just because it’s a “touristy” kind of place and they well out in the bundocks.

(If you watch the video, I suggest you just turn your speakers off, there is nothing on the sound track except the very buszzy little engine (we wear noise cancelling headsets when flying, so the noise isn’t an issue.)

In case you want to visit the club:  (all are welcome, no pressure to be a member, admission fees or any of that kind of stuff )
