Good Morning, all,

I __want__ one!

Trouble is – where would you find an electric charging point in the UK to recharge it following landing?

It appears that since recently I'm sitting more often in the right seat. No matter if as PAX or PIC 🤷
And I tried and compared the A/C with the shortest and with the longest wingspan of our fleet.
Roll rate, stability and the relation of speed and lift are interesting 🤩

Our BZF Theory Class Session afterwards was also good fun. Just a few students this time but they seemed happy, I can tell.
