• One of the best XC season we ever had: Spring 2008 proved to be simply GREAT for XC flying. For first time we had people flying back over big mountains to Manali and back to bir too. Though i was busy teaching we had some great flight with XC students. One of my student with less than 100hrs flying time was able to do her first 100km flight in about 3 and 1/2 hours.
