flight

from the envelope to Sheldon over the hot spots we have the river even there on the left as we head into the Gloucester area to Shubten which is in Herefordshire or we look within the borders of Wales effectively. "Let's go there.

I've been there before. Apparently it's a nice little airfield to fly in. So let's go ahead and go there and see what a good day to fly is like today." We're at two thousand five hundred feet here bursting, that's right where we're heading towards Gloucester at the minute 2500 feet still below the clouds, which is a nice high cloud base today, which means we can stay below them and we'll have a pretty decent view. It's a little bumpy though, but it's not that bad, all in all, today is only kind of a half hour

flight

for us, so I'm not going to go much higher than eight thousand feet because I have to come. down again, so I'll stay down here at eight thousand feet, in a few minutes we'll be switching to the radio, listen to them, see what runway they're on, prepare for our approach down. to buy, you like my shirt, by the way, there is a negative, go ahead, the circuit is full, you can get it in the merch store at North phillips.com.

I'll show you a link here on the screen, and many others. merchandising there we also looked at it related to flight and there is also the sister colossus, the scenery in this network is absolutely beautiful as we went to the kind of Melvin Hills area of ​​the country, um, we left Gloucester behind, we still headed straight to Gloucester to Hereford in the minute and then from Hereford North to um it's absolutely stunning, amazing, and the weather is gorgeous, plus it always helps and the weather is nice, the UK is an incredibly beautiful place, beautiful, um, lots of people, Don't you know that credit is too?

I don't think flying here in the UK can't probably be in the nightmare of airspace and stuff, but when you're outside that controlled airspace you've got some amazing scenery and some amazing countryside to enjoy. nationwide only basic service uh information good morning I have your details track two six left qfe one zero one zero two six left qp one zero one zero we are currently five south oh set it's something we do in the UK so they are the American viewers among us, maybe thinking what the hell is going on here, join in, basically, we have to fly over the airfield, come down the dead side of the circuit or the way you brought it in the United States and then. join them crosswinds to then downwind and then come that way, they'll show you what we're doing in a minute.

To be honest, I usually don't like to do them because they are a bit complicated. It's a pain, but some airfields require it. When an airfield is busy, like buy this today, they really like to roll an overhead joint to keep everyone in the flow of the pattern and I feel the flow of traffic, basically that's what we do. We're going to do today just so we can do it, uh, sure, you enjoy them for six, but it's not really fair to the rest of the traffic, so we're fine with all the other traffic flying in and out shopping in the minute.

As a small, busy airfield, I don't have the runway in sight, but there's a little more power there today. The railway line to Ludlow Webster ends there. This is where VFR flying comes in handy. I can see where I am. a map, but I can't see anything. I've never flown to buy them before so I don't really know what it looks like from above other than what I've seen, all the Street View and Google Live stuff, so let's have a look, they were like there, we're not in the zone yet Anyway, I think I can get the airfield in, we're 10 miles away at the minute, 10 miles of hills that we have to get a little higher just for these gliders, okay?

So there are a lot of gliders around here, we have to be careful with them so that they are bought and down, so what we have to do is fly over at this end of the runway, descend over and join crosswind on the bottom of the track. tango track at the top on the left at the top now for the center line now so we can go down to a thousand feet, which is the height of a circuit, the brakes are off under the car down if you're rich, move forward, the fuel is on and there is enough fuel. from coming there is nothing like going on and everything is ready and here we go, so now we join the wind delay with the airport on the left, the east, approaching directly to call three miles, the next one is now v6.

We have Papa Romeo traffic mid to afternoon downwind, so the left London loop is a pa 28 arrow golf bath and, uh, Papa Romeo, could you make a shape on our last turn for the final cut? Well, the approach is clear, it has a way out anyway. Look for it at the last yankee tango golf course 2-6 in the main instant, the traffic ahead is about half a mile now so you can report final with the one ahead, well we finally have a lot left so this time they left, it's very broad. track with an arrow a little in the middle oh look at that, there is no problem in the foreign vacancy right and taxi to the visitor parking lot along the grass bravo taxiway to the end taxi to the grass parking lot via bravo I have peppa romeo roger romeo there really is a cyclist on the taxiway, are you talking a little?

First time here, last little round since Campbell, weren't they the brain watchers on the force watching my arrival? Let's hit it, come on, okay, Parker, hold on, so here and then at Sholden, a lovely little airfield. In Herefordshire today I had a lovely little flight between two of Britain's best airfields.
