A225HVY, do you fly with the pilots center?
No problem Dave. Make sure you do it in the summer, weather is normally nicer then!
Dave, I was based at Truro in 2003 – 2004 and then late 2004 in to 2005 (both flying schools failed) Runway there is grass with a nice slope.
Spent most of my time based at Perranporth from 2004 to 2007, nice hard runways etc. Flew in to Lands End a few times, a bit bumpy regarding to taxiways, it’s all grass there but nice all the same. Flew in to Bodmin which is a nice challenge too. Also flown in to Plymouth city airport (closed now)
I’d recommend Perranporth simply because the approach to runway 05/23 is beautiful, as is the approach to runway 09.
Awesome, particularly like that night shot.
Under privatisation when the search and rescue helicopter comes out to pick you up are you charged for the call out and then charged per a minute until they find you? :rolleyes:

Sad news. RIP.
Such lovely shots 🙂
I miss the days when I would hear her land or take off and my house would shake 😀
I want to! I just haven’t flown much for a while 🙁
🙁 Robin Hood Baby was my favourite bmibaby B737. Sad to see that she’s going to be scrapped. 🙁
A few years ago a few mates wanted me to go to Nottingham and then fly up to Glasgow for a days spotting with them. I didn’t have enough money to go sadly and when they got to Glasgow they phoned me and said ‘Guess what bmibaby we got?’ and I said ‘No, not Robin Hood Baby, surely?’ and they said ‘Yes!’ and had great pleasure showing me the pics when they got back! 😀
You’ll get used to it. Turbulence has never made me feel ill, so I’m sure you will just get used to that feeling in time 🙂
Cornwall would be a bit of a long trip, yes. 🙂 I was lucky enough to train down there but sadly haven’t flown over Cornwall since moving away in 2007. In the 7yrs I spent living there I still wish I had taken loads more pics from the air.. and on the ground too.
Amazing to think they’re models!
haha not quite got your flying stomach eh 😉 🙂 I actually felt a bit sick in the air back in 2010 during a flight over Cambridge and I have been flying since 2003. I think my sugar level dropped as after a divert and a cup of tea with 2 sugars I was alright again. I must have looked bad up there at the time as my mate, Tony, looked at me and said ‘Do you feel alright?’ 😀
Sounds like you had a good trip overall. If you ever get the chance, fly over Cornwall. That place looks amazing from the air.
Nice shot, Moggy 🙂
East Anglia is pretty nice, isn’t it MSR777? I flew out that way in 2010 and flew around Lakenheath and Cambridge airport and in 2011 flew to Duxford and also Little Snoring.
Brilliant!
