    That was some very impressive flying you did in the demos. A few of those days were pretty darn windy. I have to say you’ve really peaked my interest in the microlight trikes, especially the 9 light. I just fell in love when I saw the Cosmos on there. That was a great first impression from Larry Mednick as well. Great to meet you in person and hopefully we can do it again someday soon.

      Hi Rick, thank you for you kind words, the world is very small now and I'm sure I'll be back. I can see why so many people go back year on year. I felt it was a really privilege to be asked to demo the NiNE and show something close to it's limits but these flexwings (weight shift/delta wings) have taken my flying to a whole other level. The NiNE especially. That cosmos is so smooth..standby the EFI version. You're also in video 2 out tomorrow.

    Sat here quietly chuckling away at watching you attending one of these shows for the first time and trying to describe what is going on...trust me mate, its just 'plane' sensory overload and you won't get over it 🙂
    It's a small world and the scale Mustangs you filmed, the one painted as Thunderbird is my good fiend Gary Henry's and the Pilot Makers that make up the Titan Aviation Fuels display team (Ex Aeroshell) in the overhead drowning you out, one of those is my long time friend Mark Henley and I've flown with him in the Bombers since 2013
    There is one thing about these events, each new day makes the previous one seem tame...and this is a small event with around 200K through the gates. We need to get you to Osh...690K through the gates last year and is an entirely off the charts experience !
    Get yourself there and we'll have along overdue catch up while grinning like the village idiots :-)
