Is this BB practicing his Mme Fifi's landings, or what Woof has been up to whilst AFK?

Well the lights weren't on and the flaps weren't jammed so it won't be BB.
Probably Woofers lost having not read the brief again.
Certainly not be because it would be spread all over the place after one of my inept landing attempts

Hmmmmm indeed; in Florida there is a VOR every then feet and every pilot carries a hand-held gps unit...on top of the gps-enabled navigation display in their kites which includes full moving maps, weather overlay and 'synthetic view', a nifty little thing that allows one to fly in the dark, or clouds, and still see a digital representation of the terrain ahead of the aircraft.

Plus it's VFR all the time...

The pilot probably uttered the two most dangerous words in aviation: 'Watch this'  :D
