The Three Amigos - Newhaven Fort

Clint, Rob and I enjoyed a few hours slope soaring up on the cliffs at Newhaven Fort. blowing a good 25mph SW wind which provided strong lift as well as the usual turbulence coming in and pushing out over the cliff edge. M60's proved an excellent choice (again) with them being ballasted they tear through the sky and make light work of the strong winds. Rob flew his Ninja and we all flew my old and dated PSS P-51 Mustang.
