FLIGHT DETAILS
The Community Fly-In Friday World Tour continues!
Our voyage across Africa’s Mediterranean coastline progresses further East as we fly from Oran, our last full-stop landing location, onwards to Algeria’s capital city, Algiers. En route, we have three planned touch and go landings at Mostaganem, Chlef, and Boufarik. All three of these locations were involved in the North African campaign of World War II. The former two were military airbases used by the US Army Air Force, and the latter was where Free French leader Charles de Gaulle arrived in Algeria where he had his headquarters from 1943 until the liberation of France a year later.

This is meant to be a fun and informal flight. Everybody is welcome, no matter the amount of experience.
