Ultralights, Angeles City Flying Club. Phillipines.

Found a great little airfield and flying club in the Phillipines. Locals and expats. Oz pilots probably the most represented with a mix of Brits and Europeans. “Seat of the pants flying” was what my Phillipino instructor kept mentioning If I wanted to get technical. I made the usual GA mistake of wanting to back off the power. Glide ratio of 4:1 and you‘re pretty much on power until over the numbers. All rudder and power. Think I’ll be better in the LSA’s after this experience!

 

At first disconcerting and very quickly addictive to fly like this. Wind in face airspeed indicator.

 

I’m back here March 3rd unless the Corona virus worsens.

The shuttle bus. Very typical Phillipines without seatbelts. 1 hour from Angeles city to the airfield.
