November Update
Weekday Fly-Outs
We have been very fortunate this year with all the fly-outs taking place with only one being re-scheduled due to bad weather. The fly-outs have been very well attended with 17 aircraft being the record so far!
Thank you to all the club members who have supported the trips.
The next fly-out will be in February, Sandra already has some ideas for the fly-outs and 'ground' visits, but is always pleased to receive and discuss any ideas that you may have.
