Hop in your favourite small jet and join us in a flight from Shoreham over some scenic areas in the South of England, then across into Wales and onto Llanbedr, where we will perform a full stop landing and take a short break. Finally, we will fly the Mach Loop, twice before a full stop landing back at Llanbedr.
I’d like to mention the Mach Loop route came from FlightSim.to and was added to the route we will be flying.
Details to follow. Hope you can join us.
Regards, Paul
