Depends what you're flying. If it's not too big you could pay a visit to my local airport at Shoreham or how about Southampton, Bournemouth or Gatwick?

My advice, don't visit Paris. For some reason it really knackers your frame rates! There are lots of other cool places in Europe. But hey, there is only only one Eiffel Tower to fly under Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

If, on the off chance, you are flying a Cessna 172 I would reccomend Lydd.

But you haven't told us what you are flying yet.

Who switched the lights off? I can't see a thing....... Hold on, my eyes were closed. Oops, my bad...............&&

If that 'Lydd' had a 'step' attached to it (Lyddstep) you would be all of twenty miles from me Will! Anyway fly to: Cardiff
Swansea
Pembrey
They are all in South West Wales.

Sorry for the repeat guys i dident mean tha. Still not sure how that happened. Thanks for your reaplies. Wot i am aiming to do is i want to visit charles de gaul and frankfurt nad stop off at a few airports. When i get to Frankfert i am going to turn around visiting more airports on my way bac to Newcstle. I know that i should have had all of this planed out but it was kinda the last mnute that i decided to do it. So if anyone can think of some places to vist on my trip i would be happy to consider it. **i dont want to drift of track, ie i dont want to star going north to an airport to have to backtrack. Thanks and please post your thoughts at the bottem

thanks

Iain. I think you already have enough suggestions to go on with. Gatwick, Shoreham or Lydd wouldn't be far out of your way from Luton to CDG.

When you park in the yellow square at airports do your feul tanks automatically re-fill or do you need to do something? just never thought until i saw this topic. Cheers.

Cheers. Do all of your wheels have to be inside of the square or just some because the B52 doesn't fit. (I'm trying to go all around the world and it's got the biggest feul tanks!!) Cheers. Sam.
