RV gatherings

Post by David Broom » Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:51 am

Two upcoming Vans RV fly-ins, one at Panshanger this Sunday 26th June 2011 and the Duxford RV Bonus Day on 16th July 2011.
The annual European RV fly-in at Hoganas is arranged for 5th-7th August 2011 as well.

The organisers of the Duxford RV bonus day sent some information to me with a request to promulgate it as widely as possible so I have included it below, as received.

Duxford text follows:

Duxford RV Bonus Day 16th July 2011.

If you fly an RV, come to Duxford on 16th July, meet your friends and get Bonus Day Discounts.

Duxford is home the Imperial War Museum and must be the premier destination for GA pilots in Europe. Most weekends through the flying season, although there are no guarantees, you are quite likely to see warbirds flying – Spitfire, Hurricane, Mustang, B17, Catalina and other rare types are based at Duxford.

The Bonus days offer great discounted prices: qualifying types of aircraft (or pilots) will enjoy half-price landing fees and much reduced museum admission. Single or twin can land for £7; museum entry is £7 for most adults and children come in free. All RV aircraft qualify on 16th July.

There’s lots to see, the £25+ million ‘AirSpace’ project, the American Air Museum and four hangars packed with vintage aircraft, many in flying order – really a ‘must-see.’

Don't fly an RV or can't make the 16th July? There's one more Bonus Day event for 2011 -- for all types of aircraft:
September 10th: AOPA Bonus Day - for AOPA members and non-members. Presentations from Cliff Whittaker CAA on the minefield that is flightcrew licensing; plus AOPA presentations and a chance to ask you questions and meet AOPA.

As well as Bonus Days, Duxford welcomes FLY-INs. Call the tower for discount details.

Further information about the Bonus Days and information for fly-in visitors can be found on the web site :
