Why waive landing fees?

It's only a tenner or so?

So far as I know, when the airfield heard we were planning this, they very kindly offered. Would be a little discourteous to decline - but we could always organise an appropriate charity collection if people feel it's appropriate.

In the meantime, as of 1700Z on Monday 2nd, we have 7 aircraft with 13PoB.

For some people flying is a treat they choice by scraping the last few pennies they have together. A kind offer of a free landing fee is not to sniff at. That £10 gives me another 20 minutes worth of fuel. If I am able to make the fly-in, I would be very grateful and appreciative of the waiver. Thanks Sherburn, I heard you were a good place to come, now there's more of an excuse to make the trip.

Ps Ghengis and others, thanks for going to the trouble of organising this!

Me & Katamarino are making tentative plans to fly from EHRD with one of the clubs Robins. We do need reasonable weather though for the North Sea crossing. End of March... Fingers crossed!

Could you drop me a PM with details whenever it's convenient.

[BackPacker]

PM sent.

[Genghis the Engineer]

And received.

We currently sit at 10 aircraft, of four national registrations and 9 aircraft types, with 16 PoB and 490 litres of likely fuel sales for Sherburn.

And it's still only January 4th!

Do Sherburn have Jet A1? I may come.

[Lagentium]

Jet A1

Bose-x, yes sir they do, I'd give them a buzz beforehand though, as I'm sure you would do anyway!

Nah, we just need 100ft cloud-base or so and we'll avoid any shipping by 500ft horizontally

[BackPacker]

That's the spirit!

[4_blues]

Is there a revised list of numbers or who or may not be hoping to attend?

I'll be there! Sounds like it will be a good day and will be my first fly-in. I'll be coming from liverpool so if anyone wants/needs a seat PM me. As it stands i have a spare.

[Fake Sealion]

I'm planning to be there.
Have just sent PM to GTE

[Genghis the Engineer]

And received.

The score now is: 15 aircraft, 23 PoB, and Sherburn can expect to sell about 500 litres of AvGas.

As of this morning, now 17 aircraft with 27 PoB.

Does anybody know if Sherburn have MOGAS? There are a couple of people who sound like they'd like to buy some if it's available.

G

[Fake Sealion]

Yes they have MOGAS according to website. They run a pair of AT-3s for training/self fly.

[peterh337]

What is the hard surface parking like?

I have been there but not for a long time.

[Katamarino]

It seemed good the last time I was there, although it wasn't very busy.
