About The Sunday Shenanigans Series
Sunday Shenanigans is a bi-weekly Sunday event hosted by Baracus, where we will have a mixture of different flights, events, themes and challenges each time. The focus will be largely on GLIDERS, but there will be RANDOM FUN EVENTS to spice things up. Sometimes a specific AIRCRAFT will be required so that we are all in the same thing (default or freeware) and sometimes just a suggested TYPE and/or SPEED will be given and you are free to bring what you like. There will always be a suitable default or freeware option and all scenery (if needed) will be freeware.
