LAA Rally Sywell 2012

Post by Mictheslik » Tue Sep 04, 2012 6:18 pm

Well, what a weekend. Flew up from Corsham on the Friday and back on the Sunday in N257SA. Camped by the aircraft for two nights, and saw a large number of aircraft that I'd like to own. No definitive totals yet, but around 1200 aircraft are believed to have visited over the weekend. Saturday was absolutely rammed! The atmosphere was amazing with pilots, spotters, photographers and families just wondering around airside as the very professional marshallers parked the aircraft tightly together.

Hi Mic

Some nice shots there, the night ones of N257SA are certainly something different :clap:

Cheers,
