Red arrows
Well today was interesting at Filton. The red Arrows overnighted there, they then took off to Swansea for a show and then came back to Filton to land. On their way back the RT went like this.
Filton App Red Arrows overhead Cardiff for a VFR join.
Red Arrows Filton App runway in use 27 VFR join approved join as you wish
Filton Red Arrows request to overfly airfield and then left and right circuit joins
Red Arrows cleared to overfly the airfield you are also cleared to 6000ft in the zone join as you wish
How annoying is that!!! why cant I get join instructions to join however I want to! and Filton is a noise abatement pain in the arse, and I am fairly sure 9 Red Arrows are a bit more noisey than a PA28.
