    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.

    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:

    🙁 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.

    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.
