You will want to avoid Inverness like the plague. Stalag 47
Inverness is a bit of a pain in the arse for GA as there is only one way out and the security folks are not used to having strangers around. They insist on a passport and a pilot's licence to get through the gate
I asked Security this afternoon, as I went through. A visiting pilot needs his license and a photo ID (driving license) to get back in. I've never found Inverness Security people a problem or unpleasant.
And there's fuel at Inverness, and a very frequent bus service.
and a speed of85mph...In June that can be the headwind component in the Western Isles..
Just stay below the jetstream altitude, like the rest of us taildragger pilots in the north.
