Be good if the Typhoon could drop by on its way to/from Eastbourne
Re: Families Day - Thursday 18th August
Last year we had an Osprey drop in for the duration from Mildenhall. Are the any hints/rumours of any visitors for this year?
Re: Families Day - Thursday 18th August
Lynx XZ179 should be in 12:20L departing 10:00L tomorrow morning to Odiham
Re: Families Day - Thursday 18th August
Family's Air Experience flights started at 0800L using Pumas XW235/Q and ZA940/V (radio callsigns "Puma1" and "Puma2" respectively) and a pair of Chinooks (not transmitting on Mode-S transponder hence unidentified, radio callsigns "Chinook1" and "Chinook2").
Current ATIS has visibility 7km in haze and overcast at 700ft, so very little chance of reading off the Chinooks at this time. Hope the weather improves as it did yesterday.

The Jet Provost was XW324 (G-BWSG).
Also present and/or displaying were:
The Blades Extra 300s with G-OFFO, G-ZEXL, G-ZXCL and one other
XZ179 (G-NCKS) Lynx
G-AXUJ Auster 5
G-BSFD J3C Cub
G-BJTP PA18
G-HMCE Ikarus C42
G-HMCH EV97
Dornier 228 C-FPSH dropped the Red Devils overhead at 5pm, then landed to pick his "passengers" back up, departing just after 6pm.
Of the Reds, only XX295 was picked up on Mode-S/ADSB.
