Nice. The President must be a nice aircraft. But may I ask once again about Sollas: is ist it allowed to land there anytime you like, or only on the occasion of the yearly fly-in? AFAICS, it is published as an airfield in any of the airfield guides...

I found the phone number of John McLeod on pprune. He knows about the strip and gave me a briefing. If you want his number send me a pm and I will send it. I found it by doing a google on Sollas and reading the pprune thread.

Cheers
