Based on a farm strip next to my house in Angus in northeast Scotland, fly about 125 hours a year in a Maule STOL with tundra tyres mostly throughout Scotland, England and Wales, landing on beaches, pastures and any field or track that's reasonably flat and straight. I do France and Spain a few times a year. The real bonus about this area is the huge variance in terrain and sights to see in nearby range with very little traffic and wide open uncontrolled airspace. From the beaches at Lunan Bay, round the beautiful harbor towns of fife, the lochs and foothills of Perth and the Cairngorm mountains make it a great place to fly. Efficient flight control services that know the local area well give that extra measure of safety.

It's all good, we are lucky to live and fly in a place like this.
