It's time for my SEP revalidation, so we fired up the Wayne & Jack Show flew the largest circuit possible - the M25, with a few shortcuts, pearls of aviation wisdom, and even a few jokes - why not join us

With the tragic crash of the Bell 206 in the Hudson River, I'm looking back to my only time flying a helicopter which was the same type, a Bell 206. 

I am not going to comment on the causes, but my heart does go out to the victims & their familes.

With all the fun of Heathrow being closed due to a substation fire, we missed an opportunity, as KK is in for her annual, but we did do a Heathrow Zone crossing a couple of weeks ago. It is not as complex as you might think.

Finally back in the air, but with new toys in the cockpit, I try to unflatten my rusty landings and master the glideless flapless approach - does it all go to plan?

Last landings as the sun goes down at Elstree on 08. Many thanks to the Tower team who swapped runways due to the sun. For some reason I prefer 08. Many thanks to ThemeParkScreamers for the video.

Flying season has started. Can you guess where I went? Ed, one of my fellow owners flew there, I flew back - and yes I used the radio too!!! Video might be coming soon, assuming all the cameras worked.

Yes the latest in the saga of owning a private aircraft - spend 30K on upgrades and what happens?
