All,
We will be holding a DC3 fly in event in Madagascar on Sunday 15th December.
This will be an open event to all pilots and you can participate even if you do not have the DC3 rating and your flights will be approved (Unless of course you wreck the plane in flight or on landing).
This event has been set up so that pilots without the DC3 rating can have a fun evening and experience the joys of a different way of flying and some of the amazing approaches and grass strips that Madagascar has to offer.
Hopefully it will encourage more pilots to then obtain the rating in the future and fly this amazing historical aircraft.
Further details and signups will be avaliable soon.
In the meantime if you have any further questions please direct them to Terry Ward or Ben Maskell.
We look forward to hopefully a great turnout on the day and of course pilots with the DC3 rating are more than welcome to come along for the fun!!
