On a light note

Finally took the plunge and wore a kilt to the flying club yesterday, the only circle of friends who hadn't seen me in the kilt before as the airport is across the border in England and kilt not practicable for climbing into small planes. We had a visit to air traffic control at Prestwick in Ayrshire, including lunch in a restaurant on the airport perimeter, travelling there by road. I wore my 16oz black kilt and drove to Carlisle Airport where I met up with the group and travelled with them from there to Prestwick. One or two complemented me on being dressed smartly for a Sunday outing and someone asked if I found it airy to which I replied that on the contrary, due to the heavy weight of the wool material, I was actually very warm. I took this photo from the outside balcony of the control tower of an Atlas Air Boeing 747 on its take off run.
