As a former WGLO and Wing Aviation Officer, ACTO35 made me despair. The Air Scouts have certainly made it far simpler.
Last September, with a fellow syndicate member, I took our aircraft to Sywell for an annual Air Scouts Aviation Day. There, along with about eight or nine other aircraft and pilots who also gave their time for free, in one day we flew 112 Air Scouts on
