Places to fly for a day out
Hi fountain of knowledge that is the Pprune Private flying forum. I need help to further my flying.
I am trying to think of some new places to take fly to with the family in our Bonanza at weekends and I though there may be some suggestions from the board?
We are a family with 4 children of which one is a baby and one is disabled so needless to say we are not that portable.
I am trying to think of some airfields that are a good day out from our base at Blackpool (EGNH). We have worn Caernarfon very thin but that is a typcial example of where we like to go. Food and a beech with ice cream for the kids. They are not that bothered about flying but dont mind if there is an icecream at the end of it.
We also did Brighton (Shoreham) last year but getting the taxi into the town for all of us wasnt that easy. That said we had a great day once we were there.
Can anyone suggest some airfields that may provide a good day out. Beech is not essential but nice.
Bonanza likes a decent strip. I have not been into much less than 700 metres with everyone on board but would be OK a bit shorter.
Obviously distance is not too important within reason as the A36 trundles along at more than 165 Knots.
I also dont mind some foreign suggestions. Le Touquet is nice. That sort of thing but not much further as I get sick of listening to "are we nearly there" and "I feel sick".
