I saw Top Gun 30 times at the cinema in 1986. Decades later I got my PPL. RIP James Tolkan. Stinger had no idea what he started. ✈️ #WhiskeyAlphaPilot #NeverTooLate
KK is off for her annual. Every GA aircraft in the UK has to pass one every year, no exceptions. She'll be back out on the apron soon enough. In the meantime, here's a very good photo of her looking immaculate in the sunshine. ✈️ #WhiskeyAlphaPilot #Cessna172 #GeneralAviation

With all the fun of Heathrow being closed due to a substation fire, we missed an opportunity, as KK is in for her annual, but we did do a Heathrow Zone crossing a couple of weeks ago. It is not as complex as you might think.

Last landings as the sun goes down at Elstree on 08. Many thanks to the Tower team who swapped runways due to the sun. For some reason I prefer 08. Many thanks to ThemeParkScreamers for the video.
