On a lovely cloudy and windy friday morning, myself and Pete were booked to take two seperate planes to knock! There was a lot of waiting around trying to figure out what the weather was doing and in the end we decided that it was ok to go! We knew it would be hairy in places, but we'd give it a go and turn around if we needed to! It turned out to be good fun, but quite poor visibility with some really low cloud along the way!
Pete had a friend Keiran over from Bristol so he came along for the spin! They were in EI-GSE and I was in EI-BCK! Keiran took loads of photo's while Pete was flying so most of the photo's are from their camera!
the lads were ahead of me getting in to knock and I ended up holding over Ballaghaderreen for a Ryanair 737 to depart. The lads got a good view of it as it taxied out on to the runway they were backtracking!
Me in BCK over the midlands somewhere!
