Anyone likely to be going to the BoB Air Show at RAF Leuchars?

If so anyone fancy meeting up for a soda water and lime in one of the hospitality tents?

Pups

Long time no see mate. Hoping to be there. Will let you know.

Steve

Can't be there, but I was the "unhappy instructor" in the back seat of the Chipmunk that did the "crazy flying by useless student" presentation in 1953.

The actual pilot was the CO of StAUAS. My Dad was in the crowd. He took it all bravely, but he later confessed he did worry when he saw us disappear below the banks of the creek at Guardbridge.

I'll be in NCL then, Pups. How would I get from there to RAF Leuchars?

Oz

By train, dead easy. Newcatle to Edinburgh, Edinburgh to Leuchars station :ok:

Thanks for that CJ! Obviously I had no idea where the place is and certainly didn't realise how easy it is to reach from NCL. Long time no see mate!

CJ & OzEx,

Would be fantastic to meet up with you chaps at Leuchars. If you are up for it, drop me a PM and we can co-ordinate about where and when we can meet.

E-mail enroute Pups, but it describes an unforeseen and unfortunate complication... :{

I'll probably go up for that one. Anyone up that way tomorrow for 43(F)'s 90th Birthday bash?

...May be, I will be there too...
...Really easy, train from Edinburgh to Leuchars station and from Leuchars station to Leuchars airbase ??... Or hiring car better ??...
...Is anybody able to PMme a phone contact of an atco at Edinbugh TWR...I will be very pleased to make a visit there if possible... Around there btw Sept 3rd to 10th...

...Merci d'avance...

If I'm off then I'll be there :D

Even better, we're now bringing a Falcon up for the static.......well it saves me having to drive :D

I'll be there as well, now that I have leave approved ;)

Deffo confirmed for Leuchars :)

See you guys by the Falcon on the static..................or the beer tent :D

Will be there as always! Long time no speak Flypuppy....hows things going since we last spoke ?

Amazing, I'm off. Now just got to get a day pass from the Boss.

How about this for a plan?

Rendevous at a the static display at 1400. Look for a Cessna 172 G-DRAM.

10W will be there looking after it for a mate....

G-DRAM held my machine up at GLA this afternoon, stopped at the tower to pick some NATS employee up.....
One rule for them, another for us :ugh: ;)

Thought you were worried about our mighty vortex wake .... :p

Actually, we were doing NATS a favour ... 3 pob out, 2 back ... ;) beats them having to pay for a redundancy package ... which ultimately keeps your costs down ... ;)

We were very impressed how you quickly you got airborne off 27!!!!we wouldn't have been at 50kts by then :eek:

That's the carefully hidden 210HP engine for you :cool:

Get the word around .. amphib floats arriving in 6 weeks ...

and then ......

whaddaya think of THIS .. ? (http://www.scotlandonfloats.com)
:E

Any takers ?

Shame we didn't see you around Scottie :(

Even more impressive a take off was carried out at Leuchars, especially when you consider it was fully fuelled and had myself and Flypuppy on board, plus 2. :)

Couldn't get a pass :{ :ugh:

Got dragged to the car show room instead and was forced to part with cash :{ :{ :{

Thumb is well and truly implanted. Anyhow the weather for the show was fantastic! You guys must've had a good time.

Anyhow why no EDI bashes?

No EDI Bashes cos we all got the thumb ... one way or another ;)

We could do a Prestwick one of course, with a professional pilot slant and get you all on the ATC simulator perhaps ?

Failing that, then myself and Aunt Rimmer are always happy to take professional pilots up in real aircraft ;)

What a rego eh? "G-DRAM" for an aircraft in Scotland, priceless

...and like any good dram, just add a wee bit of water to make it even better. :)

Thanks to 10W Aunty Rimmer and Com Jam for a spectacular weekend. Meeting up with OzExPat in EDI just added to the fun.

Anyone brave enough to post some photos?

Your wish is my command Pups... pix of the EDI pub crawl are here (http://www.fototime.com/inv/CE0E6BDC5BF4AF0).:ok:

Was a great afternoon... even if I did miss my train back to NCL...:uhoh:

Embarrasing pics ??
