High Performance Flying

without comments

After an aborted attempt on Weds when we found that the plane we had booked had a faulty alternator (don’t want to fly without the electrics!) I finally got my first lesson in a high performance plane, defined as any aircraft with a 200HP engine or greater. The Cessna 182 I flew was rated at 235HP and at one point we were indicating an airspeed of 150 mph – now that’s cruising! It sure was a lot of fun, in a couple of weeks we’ll do it again to put me and the plane through some performance maneuvers and after that I should get my endorsement that I am legal to fly the fast planes solo.

Well, the deny list was not comprehensive enough to stop the spammer but I am taking moderation off anyway. Its not that much hassle to delete all the comments straight from the database and after looking through the code its pretty easy to add some lines to ban the spammer completely.
