I suggest a flight night to commemorate. In the event you all have other plans, I suggest a taking off from Eindhoven EHEH, thanks to the American 101st this is possible and dropping paras at EHTL Arnhem airfield. Not the best at flight plans lads, anyone? up for improving this?


]]> Arnhem DZ https://forum.fguk.me/discussion/913/arnhem-dz Wed, 10 Sep 2025 07:27:22 +0000 FGUK this weeek Tigger 913@/discussions Took off from Eindhoven, selected landmarks on map, flew towards green Arnhem, bridge easily visible, believe I found original DZ location. I do not use orthos so apologies for graphics quality. Hope this helps with flight planning if Market Garden being a flight night.


]]> FlightNight May 6th - Chopper visit to Gavarnie Cascade and then East thru the Pyrenees ! https://forum.fguk.me/discussion/323/flightnight-may-6th-chopper-visit-to-gavarnie-cascade-and-then-east-thru-the-pyrenees Wed, 03 May 2023 13:16:06 +0000 FGUK this weeek VooDoo_daVinci 323@/discussions

We'll meet at 8 pm London Time at ICAO: LFBP - Pau Pyrénées Airport in France. Please bring the Chopper of you choice from the FGUK Hangars that can attain/maintain 130 KIAS up to 10K' for an hours duration. From Point of Origin we will depart Eastish and overfly LFBT and then turning roughly 200 degrees to find and observe the Gavarnie Cascade - a rather large and impressive waterfall that is animated in FlightGear.

After fooling about the waterfall we will continue on to our midpoint refresh/refuel destination of LENA - Benabarre Airport in Spain. We will then continue on to overfly LESU, LECD, and land at LFMK: Carcassonne Salvaza Airport back in France as our final destination.

The Cascade is roughly South of Lourdes (LFBT) and roughly 25 - 30 miles from LFBT.

Cool stuff to see! CYA!
