Product Information

Sid has become quite a hit with the women, who all seem to want to take ‘selfies’ with him – he never gets a minute to himself now he has achieved celebrity status! The Aviation Museum at Sandown is well worth a visit as building and flying aircraft on the Island has played a larger part in the UK’s aviation industry than you might imagine. This copy should match the race card. Both are managed by Webmasters. Please submit your updated sponsors, titles,and datesto them. A couple of years ago , FLYER‘s Ian Seager made Freedom of Information requests to the CAA and Department for Transport on various subjects including Electronic Conspicuity and EGNOS. And then, there’s Druskininkai, a bumpy strip in the spa town where half of Eastern Europe ‘takes the waters’. Druskininkai sits close to Belarus, and as you tune into Flight Information, you share the frequency with Belarusian MIG pilots on their training sorties.

OK, SkyDemon refused to play ball, stubbornly repeating that our ‘subscription had expired’… OH NO IT HADN’T! Based on the familiarisation and test flight we did the previous day, I perform my final approach at the Optimum Stabilised Approach Speed of 50mph (we determined this speed the day before) down into ground-effect. For those not familiar with the 170, it is basically a Cessna 172 (actually is the other way around). Have you ever approached in a 172 comfortable at 50mph? Hitting the spot As soon as the sentence is spoken, we hear a suspicious noise in the freezing cold air: Rob is already approaching and we are not yet in the right place. The 2024IRONMAN Portugal-Cascaisoffers Age Group Qualifying slots to the 2025VinFast IRONMAN World Championship.And yet, they are perfectly happy, because such is the magic of vintage aircraft ownership. The moment you take control of an aeroplane that’s older than the Spruce Goose, you realise that you’re now doing a vital job: not merely bimbling, but keeping history alive. Behind him, the large windows give excellent views over the airport. And, all the ‘old sweethearts’ are barely a stone’s throw away on the runway. The nation of historic naval pioneers welcomes the world to Portugal’s third full-distance IRONMAN race in the breathtaking Atlantic coastal town of Cascais. Historic monuments, palaces, and fortresses of bygone times over one of the most beautiful race courses ever designed for a triathlon. There didn’t seem to be as many flexwings this year, I never counted more than around 25 at any one time. Exodus Aircraft brought its new DeltaJet 500 Stingray, which was fitted with the BMW engine rather than the normal Rotax 912 and there was plenty of interest being shown. Captain Rob Everts was already floating in with his DC-6 – and we were still a good 250 metres away from the agreed spot for the photo.

In thinly populated, and structurally poor Alaska, the aeroplanes connect countless small towns and villages with the outside world. But what makes Everts Air Cargo and Everts Air Fuel unique, is that cargo and fuel of all kinds are transported primarily with Douglas DC-6 and Curtiss C-46 aircraft. In short, with aircraft which were partly built during, or shortly after, WWII. While sharing one last beer, Keith, Kirk and I chat. We all agree that we got what we came looking for – and more. Like the 750 pilots that have previously taken CC’s Bush flying course, we felt safer, more skilful, and confident and had acquired a much better knowledge of our aircraft and more critically, our personal ability. Well… as for me… I’d like to fly a DC-6. At least fly with me. Is there something that could be done…?” I ask cautiously. We head up towards the Spinnaker Tower at Portsmouth, where you usually can see one of the British Navy’s new monster carriers – plus HMS Victory, which looks tiny in comparison!While CC made this training fun, and making it feel like a STOL competition, he reminds us that the main point of this technique is to perfect landing and taking off in short spaces off-airport. It was amazing how the concepts he was teaching were coming along so nicely, and all in just two days and a couple of hours of flying. The wide river is almos t completely frozen , and there is steam in the few places that are still open. He got the Auster dismantled and shipped to Lithuania, and then tasked local mechanics to rebuild it, replacing all the wood, and the metal, and the wiring, and, above all, the fabric. When I turned up to look at it, I thought it looked resplendent in yellow and blue. And it was also impossibly cute. I think all vintage aeroplanes are – as they sit on their tailwheels, they look like puppies begging for a biscuit. For those three days in the Bush-Air classroom, I wasn’t going to be alone. My wingmen would be Keith Watts, from Tennessee, a professional race car driver instructor who owns a Cessna 172 – and Kirk Robertson, a dentist from Flagstaff, Arizona, who brought his 182 to Kidwell. You have the option to use your own aircraft for training or choose between the 172 or 170B available from Bush-Air. So where does the name ‘Spamfield’ originate? It all came about because the PFA Rally at Cranfield was cancelled in 2001 due to foot and mouth disease, so some wag came up with the name, and thought it might be a good idea to hold a similar event on the Isle of Wight, but for microlights.
