Here are a few photos from the NIJets flyin held at the North Down MFC. Pilots from as far as Wexford and Donegal also came along to enjoy the craic and some fantastic flying. Future jet meets are planned for later in the season, for further info check out www.nijets.com.

It wasn't THAT cold Bill, with all that kerosene burning.

You were moving about and bending and twisting. I was stiff as a board from the injections and feeling like shit! One more layer would probably have been enough or my salopettes.. (Or LOTS of coffee) Shocked

I hung in there as long as possible because I wanted to see your L39 fly, but no such luck Crying or Very sad

I only got to fly early to get the level 1 schedule tests started and later once we had passed everyone who wanted to be tested.

It was amazing to see how many wanted to fly the schedule - including George who hadn't flown at a jet day before.

The L39 wingtip lights were very useful against the grey sky.
