Group Flight: 2023-05-15T00:00:00Z
PLEASE DO NOT SPAWN ON THE RUNWAY. ENSURE YOU SELECT THE STARTING POSITION ON THE RAMP.
Route: (to Llandbedr) EGKA(Shoreham) - EGHI(Southampton Intl) - EGDY(Yeovilton) - EGFF(Cardiff) - EGFP(Pembrey) - EGFA(Aberporth) - WP1(User Waypoint) - EGFD(Top Farm).
Route: (MACH Loop) WP2 to WP36 Note: MACH Loop commences and ends at WP16. Simply follow the waypoints around in numerical order and stay low, ideally below the surrounding terrain. You will notice a roadway that follows the entire MACH Loop.
In the Spitfire, travelling at around 300mph, I completed the entire MACH Loop flight back to the airport in 20mins. I suggest after the first loop, perform a touch and go at Llanbedr and then repeat the Loop, ending in a full stop back at Llanbedr to complete the event.
