This is Saturday night's launch. We've had so many great flying evenings I feel like I'm making up for the last couple of months when I've been in Canada.
Purple Haze on the left, Wizard on the right. Beautiful. Actually Purple Haze often looks kind of reddish in the low sun. I'd love to see how well she glows at night... Bonfire Night normally includes a Night Glow so we'll see! The whole weekend is set to be a mini balloon meet with daytime launches, barbecues and tea on the go. Never a dull moment at Headcorn :)
Sunday afternoon saw about 12 Tiger Club aircraft flying in formation. It was so thrilling! The air literally shook with the sound of the engines roaring overhead. It made for some interesting approach patterns afterward though! Any visiting or local air traffic had a long wait before they could land. Each time someone called up it was like, "Roger that, you're number 14". I saw a PA28 complete about 5 orbits before there was a free spot on final approach. Good times.
Just another weekend at Headcorn... :)
