The climb out looks interesting too. A bit 633 Squadron.


I'll add that to the playlist. Again.

We are definitely going, we have a slot at Vagar booked.

The question in the air at the moment is whether we are being offered accommodation in the Faeroes in exchange for a seat in the aircraft.

I will prompt Son 1 to find out more about this.

I think that we will still have a spare seat or two. But we need to know about accommodation even before we think about the spare seats, because...well, Ice, you know why :lol:

Does your slot time mean you'll be on the ground for the eclipse or in the air ?

No slot time, just on the list of those with permission to operate.

I think the ground/air thing will be decided tactically based on weather.

Sounds like you've changed plans here, Timothy. How have you gained approval to operate at Vagar? Am I too late?

Expression of interest if there is still a spare seat anywhere!

Having spoken to Timothy recently (who I think now has a full ship), I too have requested permission to fly to and operate from Vagar during the eclipse. I will be taking either a Seneca or a TB20, probably the former. If I get permission, I will have spare seats available, and we will then have to sort out accommodation. Having visited the islands before with Gareth Davies and Janie (in a PA28), they are quite spectacular in their own right.

:lol:

I have received provisional approval for the flight from Jákup. I now need to firm up on dates in order to get full approval so will consult with Timothy again as we had discussed the possibility of going in formation.
