Where and what with?

Now that we have exhausted the question "Is there anyone out there" What are the ambitions for the coming year? What your flying and where to, would be nice to know.

Same here John, I am trying to go to as many as possible this year,but wx hasn't allowed it yet. As I consider myself a low houred pilot I can't rush into dubious weather.
Rest assured as the conditions improve I will be attending.

No question about it....... Jodel 117/120.
95-100kts, good short field and good grass stripper,good range and good weight lifter. A bit of change out of 20k too. Good to put in maintenance pot
Look also at Emeraude/ Condor etc.
I am a little biased. :D

2 New 140E's

Well done to Lou Rex and Alan Shipp after flight testing of their respective Jodel 140E's.
I am sure everyone is looking forward to seeing them parked alongside each other at future Fly-In events in the near future.
Once again Congratulations :D :D :D

You should have gone to Sywell Chris. I had a great weekend. Met up with friends, had a wander about and chatted with lots of other Jodel owners.
I must admit that the food situation was almost the same as where you went though. Improved on Sunday, with plenty to eat. :lol:

Keep plugging Chris. I have only had mine a year, but I talk to her more than the missus.
See you at Sywell?
