FLIGHT DETAILS
Sláinte! It’s said that everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, so this Friday we’ll be celebrating with a flight over the Emerald Isle co-hosted by our favorite Irish flight sim streamer, @dTwotonemurphy! Murph has created a beautiful flight plan for us along Ireland’s west coast, starting at Sligo and ending at Galway with a few touch & go landings en route. Murph also suggested that it would be great to experience this flight plan via helicopter, so for those rotary-wing enthusiasts among us, this is a perfect opportunity to showcase your skills in the Bell 407 or Guimbal Cabri G2!
