Just to inform you, it clashes with the airshow tommorow evening. Bad timing, otherwise i would go, flying my A380 instead.

It probably won't clash with the airshow (and the tours have been going for a long time so its really the airshow clashing with the tour), we're usually finished by the start of the tour... I'll be there after the show. Cool

Just a gentle reminder of the tour "Rules"....>>>>

*************************************

You wont be very popular flying an Airbus A380..
..and trying to maintain an airspeed of 120 knots maximum... Shocked

...!
..and attempting to land on a very short, grass/gravel airstrip, in the middle of nowhere!

Try a Default Cessna 172/182S... Wink

...!

..or if you REALLY want to go for the "Big Stuff", go for a Default Douglas DC-3.

There you go, so many choices of Default, General Aviation, Piston Prop Aircraft in your Hangar... Smiley

. ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...!

P.S. I bet the mention of a lowly Cessna 172 piston prop has put you off the Tour?... Roll Eyes

....

...!

P.P.S. I think the Airshow starts at 5PM GMT whereas the Tour starts at 8PM GMT, so there's a 3 hour interval in between.
I know the organisers of the various Airshows, etc, are well aware of the week-end Tours, and take great care to avoid clashing with them...(thanks Lads!)... Wink

Just as an extra warning, Chums....

Apart from the start KSEE, there are no more fuel pumps at any of the airfields/strips on the journey!!

So fill up your tanks, (and dump any un-necessary passengers at the start to lighten the load)... Wink

...!

And NO Nav-Aids en-route, so it's all Map, compass, and GPS "stuff"....like in the good-old days!... Wink

...!

Paul...G-BPLF... Cool

...!
