 January 2012  Fly In:


Our first fly in for 2012 year went well with another lucky break in the weather although skies were overcast.

 

A moderate/gusty southerly wind made for the expected turbulence with a little shear on late final on the approach to 15 but it was not a problem.

 

We had 33 aircraft attend and 60 guests enjoyed our legendary breakfast. Check out the Newsletter below for the latest event and all previous ones..

 

Our Website Photo Gallery is always being updated after each fly in so check it out to see brilliant photos by Dan Wilson.

 

Don’t forget you can order any photos of your beloved plane from Dan as well as purchasing the latest photo Album.

 

Hope to see you all in February.

 

And from the team Fly Safe!
