Hi!
You may remember my National Park events the past several weeks. With Season 1 of that series done, I’m starting a more relaxed series of flights along major trade routes, waterways, pilgrimages, etc.
Unlike past events, I won’t be live streaming my own audio or camera, which means I can actually hang out in the Discord CTAF channel if anyone else would like to chat! And for those looking for a less social flight, I will still be live streaming, but this time Bushtalk Radio will be the main host.
This is my second event with the new format, so I’d love your help in shaping future flights!
Hope to see you there!
Jules
