After
a damp start, hundreds turned up for the Air League ‘Youth in Aviation’ event
at Bicester that was blessed with the perfect weather for the afternoon.
 |
| A bit of sunshine helped! |
Well
done Andy Perkins and Luke Roberts for another great event, that focused on
networking amongst aviation related charities, trusts and companies with
supporters including CTC Wings, RAF, Air Cadets, Oxford Air Training, Bicester
airfield’s new owners, Bicester Heritage Limited, Windrushers Gliding Club,
GliderFX and Aerobility.
There
were rides in vintage aircraft, the gliding club flew 60 winch lessons over the
day and GliderFX took a lucky 13 pilots for an aerobatic flight in the Fox,
including Aerobility’s newest members Max Bond and Andy Payne.
 |
| All set and ready to go! |
The
thanks must go to Ian ‘Gally’ Gallacher and Paul Holdnal for getting the Fox’s
CofA complete in record time for the event, and for the evening pyro display
flight.
 |
| An amazing end to a brilliant day! |
Aerobility
members have FREE airtime in the GliderFX Fox glider, and there will be many
more opportunities to experience gliding with GliderFX and Walking on Air
throughout the summer.
