Congratulations to our student Johnathan for passing his PPL Skills test today! Johnathan chose to do all of his training on our PA28 Archer G-BIUY during one of the wettest winters we have experienced for many years! Fortunately he was able to make full use of Redhill's improved runway 07/25, now available for circuits and student solos.

Well done to our student Henry who flew solo again today for the first time in over a year. Work and other commitments sometimes get in the way of our students' training - as happened to Henry last year. However, he is now back with enthusiasm and after just three flights to brush off the rust, he has flown solo once again!

Whilst taxiing along the Delta taxiway, keep an eagle eye out for this protective pheasant! He has been spotted several times this week trying to chase away all annoying aeroplanes. It would appear that he is an Anti-Aviation Avian!

Today a new record was set - the furthest distance travelled by someone having their first Air Experience flight. Our Norwegian visitor came all the way from Oslo with his friends, who had bought him a 30 minute Aerobatic flight as a surprise present. Fortunately the weather was excellent on the day and he had great fun in G-BOSO.
