The Best PPRuNe Fly-In EVER 2.
 
Right then. Suggestions please for the next PPRuNe fly-in. September would be good so place your suggestions here.........
Also consider October, AerBabe can only make it then.

Over to you........... :)

C`mon darn sarf!!

Shoreham??Sandown??Goodwood??

sennadog 1st Aug 2002 13:56

My vote goes to Sandown or Goodwood but I could be persuaded to do Sywell - decisive I know.:D

Additionally, we should have two weekends in mind given the vagaries of the weather, so how about September 21st, 22nd, 28th or the 29th?

When we have a reasonable response maybe we should put the venue and the date to a vote/poll so it is reasonably democratic!

Either way, I'll be there.

Regards, Sennadog.

AerBabe 1st Aug 2002 14:13

I've already said September is no good for me. If everyone can make October I should be able to come though.

The problem with having a fly-in in the South is that for anyone up here it's expensive. Can't we find somewhere a bit more central? (like Sywell ;) )

Evo7 1st Aug 2002 14:38

Goodwood :)

Alternatively, as I'm probably not going to have my licence by then - but will have done the test :rolleyes: - anyone got a spare seat...?

sennadog 1st Aug 2002 14:39

Yep, probably will have a spare seat Evo.

Evo7 1st Aug 2002 14:45

Cheers sennadog. Sold :D :D

foghorn 1st Aug 2002 14:55

Can we have somewhere with a hard runway please? AA5's are not brilliant grass machines especially on wet UK grass.

Other than that I'm up for it as long as it is late September and I can lift two peeps from Biggin Hill who will be treated to my crummy visual appraoches (only kidding - or am I ;))

cheers!
foggy.

RotorHorn 1st Aug 2002 15:04

I think Sywell is getting a tarmac runway...

I'm free (or at least value for money) September or October.

so Sywell and October is favourite for me.

Whirlybird 1st Aug 2002 15:09

I'll be in Russia 13th-22nd September, but after that is good for me. Sywell is good for me, and we've had one in the South already, so somewhere fairly central is a good idea. If I'm going I may have a spare seat in an R22.

WeatherJinx 1st Aug 2002 16:32

WxJx up for it too...will also fly out from EGKB...or maybe cost-share w/you Foghorn??? drop me a line if you're interested...

WxJx:cool:

Aussie Andy 1st Aug 2002 16:33

I vote Goodwood. Why not add a poll with half a dozen SE England airfields on it.

Ground Loop 1st Aug 2002 16:46

How about Bidford Airfield, Bidford on Avon.

Very friendly airfield with good food and a bar with some accomodation on site and B&B near by. Could turn this in to a Bash, if people wanted to make a weekend of it. :)

dublinpilot 1st Aug 2002 17:26

Weston??? Just on the edge of Dublin city, and equally distant from North & South UK?

Ok.....ok.....I know....but it was worth a try;) ;)

1.3VStall 1st Aug 2002 17:51

How about Wellesbourne? Central England, tarmac runway (not ideal for the Jodel, but I'll cope!). Friendly reception and an excellent cafe.

EI_Sparks 1st Aug 2002 17:53

I'll second Weston, since it's no longer certain that it'll be there next year :(
Though given my status as SPL wannabe, it'll be a drive-in for me :)

AerBabe 1st Aug 2002 18:38

Wellesbourne was still grass last time I checked ...

Diplomate 1st Aug 2002 21:06

Hi All

I'd be interested in joining you guys if all are welcome. How about Blackpool, Isle of Man, or Kirkbride. If you want to venture a bit further, Campbeltown is a great place too (if you can afford the fuel to taxi down the runway!! - it's about the same length as LHR).

Do you mean someone has nicked all the tarmac, since the last time I droped in there? :confused:

Wycombe 1st Aug 2002 21:20

Providing I can book that shiny (not quite so) new 172 again, I'll be up for this.

Sywell & Wellesbourne sound like good suggestions - would be happy with anywhere within approx 1hr of EGTB (so Goodwood, Shoreham, Compton etc would all be fine if somewhere more Southerly was preffered by the majority).

Cheers
