We flew the new saab grippen for the first time - it was very tense as the investment in a new jet is huge - its a terrific feeling when all goes well and it did!!

great flying 3d plane - flies very light and has enormous power from the moki - built from a kit - hard work but the reward was sweet - hangs now - as we fly mostly gas - but its ready for action .

Were at war and lots of my friends and colleagues of my Dad cant come flying - doing or being called up for service - I think we should still go and hope we don't encounter any rockets at our airfield - we fly somewhere between Tel Aviv and Haifa just a few km's away from the west bank. Well life has to go on anyway.
the ultimate spin - smoke on
