This event is a salute to Mel Kirk, who designed the first 'Mel's Mad Monday'. It follows his original scenario of departing Shoreham, landing at a remote airfield, and returning to Shoreham where everyone was required to execute the infamous overhead join. With a number of pilots arriving within a very short space of time, this resulted in a situation which could indeed be a bit mad - or even complete mayhem! This months event, although held on a Tuesday, features two remote Airfields, with the possibility of requiring not one but two or even three overhead joins. Mayhem would therefore seem an appropriate description for this event. Here is the Briefing Document.
This event is a challenge to all you STOL types to land on three of the most extreme airports in the world, in the Himalayas. You have rescued some climbers and now have to get them and yourself to safety! Here is the Briefing Document.
Short take off and landing on the beach at Knocke-Heist in The Netherlands, preferably in vintage aircraft. Here is the Briefing Document.
This month's event is a celebration and to some extent, a re-enactment of the flying career of one the Club's celebrity members whose 99th birthday falls on June 7th. His flying career started with the Southport Aero Club at RAF Woodvale (EGOW) in 1961, so that's where we are going for a spin. Here is the Briefing Document
The Club has visited Oshkosh several times over the years, once indeed departing from the UK, and flying "across the pond" via Iceland and Greenland in our small aircraft. Once again, members are invited to take part in the exciting flight into Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH), in the the state of Wisconsin, USA, replicationg and mimicking the real world OSHKOSH event which takes place this year from 22nd to 28th July. Here is the Briefing Document.
The Manchester Low Level Route is a tricky and busy route between the Liverpool and Manchester Control Zones that is often not given the due respect it deserves (by both pilots and controllers in the Virtual World). An opportunity has presented itself where members can experience / practice the delights of the Low Level Route, sometimes called the Manchester Corridor, in a choice of either a fixed-wing or rotary aircraft, flying together on opposite sides of the 20nm long by 4nm wide corridor at less than 1300ft!. Here is the Briefing Document.
Re-enact one of Capt. W.E.John's famous hero's flights in Norway, flying a floatplane through spectacular fjords and valleys, avoiding enemy radar, and finally landing in the fjord near Stokka. Ginger and Algy come to your rescue and you escape back to England with the Luftwaffe on your tail. Here is the Briefing Document.
