Here I am, celebrating my first visit to Madrid Cuatro Ventos with a ride on a tow tug. I hadn't appreciated just how much flight school traffic there is at this place. We waited 25 minutes for our turn to depart - a bit like Frankfurt, just with SEPs!

Had to ground our aircraft today due to a technical issue. Passenger was already on-site, hoping for an earlier departure. Now that's of course far from ideal, but what never ceases to amaze me how quickly the company organizes a recovery flight - in this case a Global.
