Nice one TomThumbs%20Up I have my flying lesson on Tuesday.Tongue
May I ask is the simulator trip part of your lessons or is it a thing you have organised yourself?

22 flights! Nice!
I presume that seen as you flew a Grob you're an air cadet (please correct me if I'm wrong)
I have a flying lesson this Saturday at EGBK in Aero AT3. Please god, let the weather hold out! Smile

Hope the weather is nice for all your flying lessons.  I am not in the air cadets,  I fly the Grob Heron, the Air Cadets fly the Grob Tutor.

The simulator is just an added extra I have, not part of a lesson.

The Heron, or G115D, is the previous model of the Tutor (G115E). The Heron was used for flying "grading" by the RN, but they now use Tutors too.Smile
