I wonder at the wisdom of someone choosing to fly to within 200m of a RA(T)....:
The original task took us well clear of the Silverstone, however, it was changed 20 minutes before launch due to new weather information to one which took us 200m south of the RA(T). At this point, you have to get ready to fly or else loose your spot in the queue, so there wasn't much chance to individually check the NOTAMs en route
As for playing the Red Arrows' air-to-air chat over the Tannoy, it can be cringeingly embarrassing if you don't deselect the R/T feed and inadvertently let the genpub hear the silly noises they make over the R/T after the break to land.....
Is there a reason for all the shouting and squealing? Or is it some tradition?
