FLIGHT DETAILS

February 25 is a special holiday in the Philippines that commemorates the 1986 People Power Revolution, a non-violent movement that resulted in the restoration of democracy in the Philippines following 20 years of dictatorial rule. To mark the occasion, Friday’s Fly-In will be over Luzon, the largest island of the Philippines archipelago and home to the capital city of Manila.

Has the take off taken place? I still see airplanes at the start point…

Looks like a really nice flight. Bit too late for me to join in now. However, I will sure fly this route later this weekend to explore :slight_smile:

I had to fly “alone” ■■■■■■■ the volcano now. In the dark, in real weather, in my Cessna 172 :heart:

Were you watching or listening to the Twitch stream? All the instructions are shared by the hosts on Twitch.

This was an amazing flight around the Philippines. Hope I’ll be in more flights
