Beach at the end of the Rainbow
http://naughtylawyertravels.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/rainbow-beach-fun.html
My flying world has been rocked! Yeah, seriously! Last Saturday we
arrived in Rainbow Beach along the Sunshine Coast of Australia and we've flown
all day, every day since. Over the past 5 days I may have had more take offs and
landings than the last 5 years combined - between 15 and 25 every day! Funny thing is, it all makes me think of Wolfi Siess. The first time I met Wolfi
was at the French Nationals in Laragne in maybe 2003 or 2004. Wolfi and a couple
of other younger Austrian pilots were being mentored by Gerolf. I was taking
heaps of pictures all week and toward the end of the week I started to notice
that all the pictures of Wolfi were especially funny. Most were landing shots
and not a single one showed Wolfi without a gigantic grin on his face - like he
was up to something. I always laughed about it, but I asked him not so long ago
if he remembered that. He said "sure, landing is the most fun part of flying!" I
thought to myself, "cool for him, I wish I felt that way."
More at the link above. Scooter towing is also a great way to do repeated landings, safely.
