Learning to Fly — Lens-Artists Challenge #144

·

Hi All 👋 My entry for this weeks challenge, set by Tina: Taking Flight.

Originally my post was going to be titled “Floating not Flying” & feature this pair of mallards having an early morning paddle on the Forth & Clyde Canal.

Mallards on the Fourth & Clyde Canal

However, on my way back from the canal, I passed by Cumbernauld Airport where a trainee helicopter pilot was being put through their paces; & that is now my post.

There were quite a few seagulls enjoying the sunny morning!

…and finally, what better accompaniment than Pink Floyd

      It was almost “Learn to Fly” by the Foos, but I’ve used that recently

    What great timing you had to catch the helicopter training session Jez. I’ve never seen a contraption like that heli on a pole! Hard to believe it could support the weight on a single pole! From your images it looks like the student pilot still has some work to do LOL.
