Does a 'VPI' - type club exist for ISTAR?
The VP International Club was formed to 'foster goodwill and fellowship through the promotion of understanding and recognition of Maritime Patrol operations and their impact on military aviation.' To join required the logging of at least 1500 hrs on maritime aircraft. The VPI club has an excellent & well deserved reputation around the world for doing exactly as it says on the tin - I'm sure many of you would agree with that. So...
Well, it's about 18 years since I did any of that Nimrod stuff (good thing many would say!) and I was wondering if anyone knows of (or would be interested in starting up), a similar Club for ISTAR flyers? If such a club exists, any details about it would be very much appreciated. If it doesn't, well, I'll gauge the amount of replies as an indicator of whether or not it would be something that should/could be started. I for one reckon that a fellowship, modelled on the success of VPI and run concurrently for ISTAR crews would be a very good thing. Over to you.
