Every year I try to go flying on New Year's Day, but sadly this year the weather wasn't that wonderful and therefore I broke tradition and flew yesterday in Auster AOP.9 XR240/G-BDFH over the Devon countryside and up and over Dartmoor. Again it wasn't the best day to venture skyward as was shall we say a little bumpy over the high ground and somewhat windy. But a good time was had by all.
This morning for some reason, I couldn't sleep and so tried to replicate the flight on my PC, dialling in all the known weather conditions. Well, I haven't use the sim for over a month, so perhaps it should be a New Year's resolution to do a little bit more, as I rather enjoyed the experience, but its a lot easier (and cheaper) sat in front of a screen with a nice hot coffee, then being buffeted about the skies. But with the way sims are going and the efforts of the people we see here, it will get better and better.
Happy Landings and a Happy New Year to all.
