Newcastle airspace agreement with BGC

[ron freeman]

Interesting reading if going XC from Crossfell. Newcastle Airspace control are very aproachable when using their airspace, maybe the NHPC could arange similar terms for XC's from Crossfell ?

Interesting but probably not practical on a para or hangglider apart from which any pilot would need to take a RT exam and purchase a radio suitable for purpose. However for the likes of the Almonds and Miskins of this world an interesting development.

Does block booking negate the need for a RT licence?

Is this like the corridors I've heard people talk of?

[John Wallis]

Doesn't look like it Tony it mentions if a glider is slow in crossing the pilot must contact ATC on 124.37 which is the radar frequency. You got a flight planned like

Wooow, Tony!!!!
Haven't seen or heard you in a while, good to see you back on the forum, how you doing?

There are those who would say it doesn't matter.

I say, just fly over the top of the airspace!

Come on Wallace, we're half way through May about time you got back on the hill, then you can carry the radio and take us all through together,,,,,,we need gaggle flying!

[John Wallis]

Ha ha maybe in a Piper Warrior

Ahh Wallis doesn't like the rough stuff maybe in winter when the thermals have gone

[brian day]

I've heard he likes it rough!!!! (was going to put 'a bit of rough stuff' but when I read it, thought it was a bit rude, but I'm sure Mr Bertram will be able to put me right)

That's why we can't get him out on the hill, we need to get him back under the duvet

Quite right they scare me shitless but that's half the fun. The last time I flew at this time of year I remember flying into Melmerby bowl to be met by a thermal so strong after 6 x 360s I was at base I've never encountered lift so strong that was the same day I flew to Hexham and John Elliott ? from the Dales flew over my head on his way to 100km plus

I think you have me all wrong
Just because I have an interest in pubic hair styling for sheep do not class me as some kind of pervert.

You should be more supportive like Gary who even sported one of my early designs for quite a few months on the back of his head - remember?

Thought I did

Ronnie, this is totally serious, Johns liking for a bit of rough, Stu's pubic hair style, Gary's mullet and sheep are all worthy of concideration when flying alongside Tony's 747 on a Newcastle approach in these windy conditions. How much hair gel do they use, does it make it sticky or does it lubricate it nicely?
