Let’s stick to the original date. If the weather is bad, we’ll use 6-8 Oct as a back-up. For those who have not booked yet and want to go the Aero hotel I suggest you call them rather than mail.
On the other hand (to even raise confusion here) a vintage car festival could be a great complement to our equally vintage aircraft 😅
The guy at the airport told me that he does not know much of the event other than that they are a group of local (foreign) residents who asked to use the rwy for a ‘acceleration competition’. We could join in! Ah well, not poor little 100 HP me, but surely @Dan has the right attitude and equipment to show these folks his behind.
Oh they’re on the airfield? Now that is close. Have you asked about implications on normal use of the airfield? Is this just a competition of acceleration or will they put obstacles on the runway or anything?
RTFM Udo Colm’s excellent brochure indicates that the airfield is closed on that Friday 12:00-14:00 LT.
Ok, let’s keep it like originally proposed. If I need to leave earlier, I’ll just stay as long as I can and then fly WOT as fast as DA42 can.
A mailshot is going out right now re Spain LECD and Elba LIRJ.
If you do not receive it, check whether you have email permission set in your profile.
Hi Guys, nice to e-meet you. I’m new here. I live in Andorra, based in LESU, fly often to LECD for fun etc. Will be happy to come to LECD for a short visit to see you, let me know if you need local advise or anything.
All the best
Got the mail. I cannot make the primary date in september, but would gladly come the weekend after.
any fuel available at LECD?
for some of us it would be quite a long flight
LECD has no customs/immigration so some have to make a stop anyway. Brits would stop at Beziers like we did for Andorra (LESU). The LESU tower guy would not allow a departure contrary to the rules…
