Microlight Flights
Up before dawn again to drive to a local airfield for flights in a Microlight plane.
We took two vehicles. I'm sitting in the back of the truck, this is the second vehicle coming out the gates behind me.
Riding in the back of the truck as the sun comes up. I'm posing with a pipe that my friend Nick gave me for my birthday (along with a pair of slippers).

Waiting to take a turn
How embarrassing! We're wearing the same outfit!
You can see how small these microlights are.
Chris goes first.

I'm up next.
We fly 200 feet off the ground, so visibility is excellent.
