Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Nothing fancy. Just out practicing patterns around the Concord, Livermore, and Rio Vista airports in A2A's C-182...a terrific GA multitool for light hauling, local Pax service, and sight seeing or touring.

IZ0JUB 162 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 The term “The Emerald Isle” is synonymous with Ireland and its rolling hills and vales of green – at least forty shades, or so the famous Johnny Cash song goes. But how did Ireland come to be known as the Emerald Isle? Ireland’s resplendent greenery certainly had a lot to do with it, but there's more to the story and it starts with one rather interesting man. The first time the words ever appeared in print in reference to Ireland was in a poem by Belfast-born William Drennan, titled “When Erin First Rose.” 2 Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisE91 47 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Final entry from me - BAW207 KMIA-EGLL, leaving the coast of Florida and the rays of sunshine behind! Next stop, London Heathrow, landing in heavy snow as 'the beast from the east' hammers the south. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
IZ0JUB 162 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Swansea to Gloucester a great day out following the River Severn and my friend Stephen in hot pursuit. In June 1941 RAF Fairwood common was declared operational as a day and night fighter station. in spring 1949 the station was decommissioned and officially opened as Swansea airport on the 1st of June 1957.

IZ0JUB 162 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Created in 2002, West Wales Airport is located at Aberporth on the west coast of Wales. It is owned and operated by West Wales Airport Ltd and supplies services to GA, military and unmanned aircraft alike. Centrally positioned within the segregated flying zones of danger areas D201 and D202 the airfield is in a unique position. Access to these areas, coupled with having created the only CAA accredited UAS operations manual in existence, enables the company to provide the most specialised capability in the UK for the operation of both large and small Unmanned Aircraft. For the past 10 years, the special capabilities and accommodation at the airport has enabled flight operations for many different unmanned systems including the Leonardo Falco and the entire period of test and evaluation of the UK MoD’s Watchkeeper UAS. Supplied by Thales UK, this major military program is now successfully in service with the British Army. Picture taken a few miles north of Aberporth.

mutley 4,497 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Thanks everyone for your entries. It was a really tough decision between two entries this month so I would like to declare joint winners! This first one is from ChrisE91, such a great angle, AND I am flying with this airline next week! "TUI B737-800 gear retract and right turn for terrain avoidance departing Arrecife" Joint first is IZ0JUB with this chocolate box picture "a few miles north of Aberporth" What's not to like!
