Àger week with Peak Airsports ...

The week started as they all do with a getting to know the area briefing ... since the clients had yet to arrive this involved a tour of all the bars in town and finished up well after midnight in the 'pub'!
Mark was intent of integrating into the community and quizzed Jordi on all local customs, dodgy practices and words that can't be used in polite company ;-)
The first flights are always 'exciting' for both me and the visiting pilots but an evening float about from La Nueva settled everyone and followed by the big Barca v Madrid match on the big-screen at Camping was a full-on introduction to Àger life!
I am flying with my most senior pilot so far since working here, the 70 years young Ian, who is outclimbing the local-heroes and scooted up to cloudbase yesterday for his first cross-country flight :-)
Ian - 70 years young and outflying the local hereos :)
 

Evening floating in dreamy skies

Flying from dawn to dusk ...

First xc's, new height gains and lots of smiley sunburnt faces - its a tough job but someone gotta do it!!! ;-)
