Whilst COVID-19 is ongoing, I’d thought I’d put some cheer in here. What’s everyone’s wishlist for 2021, that may end up in 2022?
Destination and Airport ICAO :)
Here’s mine: Cologne EDDK, Amsterdam EHAM, Ibiza LEIB, San Sebastian LESO & Murcia LEMI.
Realistically achievable:
Unlikely achievable:
Just the carryover from last year, unlikely, it will fit this year,
- Lofoten (cancelled the trip just as Norway banned UK)
- Croatia (I just had enough from Peter & Emir)
- France & Morocco (usual family tour & maybe going a bit further to Canaries)

I had that planned for last summer, but weather that week-end and other commitments afterwards decided otherwise… I’m looking into trying this again this year, maybe we can do a meet-up then?
St. Mary EGHE
Lofoten had also been on my list for anytime soon.
But ultimately am thinking about nice places to visit carrying a tent. Because it might still be a while until any kind of booking accomodations will be possible. Would be interesting if anyone has some tips for some warm and sunny place, where camping is allowed :-)

Yeah that would be super great, I will surely ping passing near Trondheim !
I would add LFLJ Courchevel to the list :-)
never been to Corfu, planning to do that in a couple of weeks. Things appear to be opening up again…
Interesting a few common destinations: Lofoten and St. Mary’s Scilly Isles on my list. I would put Álzate Brianza as I would like to get my SE Seaplane rating at Como. Even sent an e mail to FCL CAA to check whether they will still treat the Club as delivering an approved course under UK CAA rules.
In practice my first private flights are going to be to Eddsfield to get the airplane cover delivered to Cambrai for reconditioning, and to Compton Abbas as it is one of the most scenic local destinations. Hopefully the restaurant is serving take away.
My strategy was to have plenty of ideas to materialize a few :
like leisure destinations :
- Ile d’Yeu LFEY for a wedding
- Bagneres LFCB for hiking
- Montmeilleur LFKK for holidays
or fly-ins :
- Paray for the tailwheel fly-in
- Brienne for the RSA
- Sywell for LAA RAlly
- our project of Norway fly-in in August
My club has an amazing and cheap tourer (a DR250) but between lockdowns, tech issues, other priorities, I won’t be TW checked out soon enough for many of those.
So for now, it’s circuits circuits circuits ….. and holidays by car/train
