Low Flying
A big thanks to the guy in the yellow Robinson who spent a happy half hour flying at 30 feet up and down the runway at London Colneylast Sunday. He managed to stop one plane taking off and another had to go round 5 times.
A big hand of applause for getting every no fly zone we have and getting us 4noise complaints as well.
I know we are near Elstree but that does NOT make us a PFL zone. We have low wing loadings so the vortex even a Robinson generates is a real hazard.
We are right next to the Mosquito museum lads so kindly !!!! off.
Last year we had a heli land in the middle of the runway and the pilot then walked off and left it there. When asked what the !!!! he was playing at he replied he "knew it was too windy for us to fly!"
If I had been on site for that one I'd have chained the tractor to it and gone home. We are a private strip guys so it means just that. PRIVATE.
Anyone that want to come in its 129.825 or ring before hand. So far every fixed wing that's come in has behaved in an exemplary fashion and the 2 helis that asked first were perfect guests. Just the Robinsons to house train now. Must be their small rotors or something
