Hawk drivers. Coming soon, "Alpine Magic"

We did have a little play in Norway back in June, as you say Magic, plenty to see, unfortunately I can’t remember which were the best bits.

Regardless, we’ll return this month for another voyage of discovery…
Weds 27th Nov, 19:30GMT/UTC, starting at Bergen Flesland Airport (ENBR)
Multiplayer via the UK317 JoinFS Hub, primary comms on Teamspeak, discord as a backup
As ever any fast jet will do, though expect the majority to be in Hawks

Another date for the diary, the years final session will be Weds 11th Dec, details to follow

As above for tomorrow

Amendment to the final session of the year, that will be Friday 13th Dec (what could go wrong) in order to facilitate a UK317 ATC session on the Wednesday night to which all are obviously welcome

Next Friday 13th Dec at 19:30 GMT/UTC for the final Alpine Magic session of 2024…

Starting at Sion (LSGS), we’ll take in some of the favourite valleys and routes as we head east for Lugano, then north up to Ambri and Mollis in the first half. I may even have a plan for the second half by the time we get there.

As ever, any fast jet will do, though expect the majority to be in Hawks. JoinFS for multiplayer on the UK317 hub and the UK317/WAA Teamspeak for comms with the discord alpine radio channel as a backup.

Sounds good

anyone on 2024 yet? I dont see a fs join version… Merry Xmas all X

Not yet, I think one of the guys in the UK317 group may have tried it using the 2020 version of JoinFS, not sure on the outcome. As far as I’m aware JoinFS is no longer being developed so if 2024 doesn’t work we may end up looking for a new solution.

Next Alpine Magic session FRIDAY 17th Jan 2025 @ 19:30 GMT/UTC

UK317 sessions will be moving back to Wednesdays starting at 19:00 so I’ll shift AM sessions back to Fridays. Full details for the first one will be sent out closer to the time when I’ve had a chance to look at a map.

Glad it’s back

Hi All,
We are taking flight on Saturday (22nd Feb) @ 19:30 GMT (UTC). It’s nearly a year since Howsei and I took an investigative trip around the highlands of Scotland, hopefully I can remember some of it for this trip. We will start at RAF Lossiemouth (EGQS), initially taking a gentle trip down Loch Ness down past Fort William and Oban before turning into the twisty stuff. Any fast jet will do, though the hawk boys will be subsonic all the way so it doesn’t need to be anything special.

I recall some bridge loops. Should be good.

Looking forward to this tonight

Next session Friday 7th March @ 19:30 GMT (UTC+0). Starting at Innsbruck (LOWI) for a classic Alpine Magic session winding our way southwest to the valleys of southern Switzerland. Any fast jet will do, most will probably be in Hawks cruising around 400kts.

The tour of the highlands was fun, but looking forward to being back in the alps.
