Overcast with a cloud ceiling of about 4000 ft and almost no wind. With no change in the weather I head to the airfield at about 09:45 SAST. When I arrive a half and hour later it is dead quiet, not one member is there, other than one guy who owns shares in two motor-gliders.

Dimona's PanelWe chat, I help him with some things in his hanger and he offers me a flip in the Dimona. Like I'm going to say no. So we fly around the airfield for about a half an hour, including two touch and goes. An even greater bonus: I get a few minutes at the controls doing some straight and level flying and a few gentle turns. Very nice thank you!
