Aeros success at NSF Sibson

AT the start of June, PPLs Andrew Thomas and Richard Ellingworth entered the British Aerobatic Association's Beginner's competition at Sleap, with both making the top four in their respective categories.

Andrew said, "It was probably one of the most nerve-wracking things I have ever done, but like Richard, I absolutely love the thrill and freedom of aerobatics."

Both pilots flew NSF Sibson's Pitts S2A and were trained by instructor Charlie Kimbell, who also competed in the competition at Standard level.

In only his second competition, Charlie came fourth in his group. He told LOOP, "To fly aerobatics well is not easy - particularly since the Pitts is quite a handful."
