Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Good article that.  They were talking on the telly about the benefit from the "aggregate of minute gains" - all the small details combining to create that winning difference.

It's certainly working.

Jeanette Kwakye did well, and I like her attitude that she's done well this time with a PB, etc., but she's going to do better in 2012.

LOL - when I saw her name on the screen that was the first thing I thought of as well.

I thought this lass was adorable. Star of the Gymnastics for me.

Surely the British chap too, tikay, who won our first medal since the dinosaurs. He bronzed it up in that event Chip Reese won a couple of years back.

What's that gotta do with old people"?

On the subject of flying mishaps, the 'plane crash near Coventry Airport yesterday was terrible.

A Cessna, used for Aerial Surveys, just coming into land, collided with a microlight, & 5 people were killed. All that space up there, & they collide mid-air - how unlucky is that?

I'm curious - do microlight "planes" need to file Flight Plans, & comply with CAA regs & stuff? If not, Commercial Pilots must love those micro boys. Not.

Wow - yesterday afternoon my Dad and I watched a microlight go over the house and he said how much he would love to try it. I wonder if it was the same one or am I too far away?

The accident occurred at 11.30am (that's in the morning....), & you are a bit far away. It's quite close to where Red lives though.

Yeah microlights have to adhere to the rules as well, they don't have to file a flight plan though, neither does the Cessna.

Flight plans are needed for intl flights and class A airspace flights

The pilot was hardly young!!!


Can imagine him saying "Back in my day there were no power lines there...."

Wow - a Cessna light aircraft does not have to file a flight plan? I'm surprised by that - so one could fly into, say, Heathrow or Gatwick, without a flight plan? Surely not?

The Cessna was professionally operated, by Reconnaissance Ventures Ltd, who do work for Ordnance Survey, RAF, etc. No news on the background of the Microlight pilot, though.

I bet he looked a lot younger when he took off.

I'm in the midst of a run of "adverse variance" right now, but tonight, I plan to reverse that, at Luton. With Comp & Ding in the field, I'm extremely confident.
