FlightNight August 3rd - Fast Jet Chase West Coast USA!
We'll meet at 8 pm London Time at ICAO: KEDW - Edwards Airforce Base in California, USA using runway 17. Please bring the fast jet of your choice that can attain/maintain 420 KIAS @ 900' AGL and cruising at 13000' for an hours duration. First half of the flight will take us Northish through varying terrain at 900' AGL and then we'll cruise over most of the really mountainous stuff. Most of it....we will likely play chase and "Follow the Leader" thru some mountain passes and valleys so pick something agile that you feel comfortable with.
We'll follow various points and the Route Manager file is only for scenery gathering. Midpoint refresh and refuel will be at KBLU: Blue Canyon–Nyack Airport in Placer County, California. This airport is relatively small with a short runway so guide yourself accordingly with aircraft choice.
After refresh and refuel we will again travel Northish finishing with a Stupid-Sonic sprint @ 900' AGL into our final destination of KRDM: Roberts Field in Redmond, Oregon. Again, small airport - shortish runway. So, choose your mount accordingly.
Comms on TeamSpeak as always.
Hair raising adventure and fast, low level action await. I can't wait.

I am planning to be there.
Can't afford to take that Oly download, though.
Will make do with what I've got.
Any recommendations for a ride ? Fancy me a EuroFighter but 'suade me?
How about the Harrier-GR9 ? No runway is too short for that.
Luv u Warty - will consider that.
If I can make it I’ll be in the GR9, love flying it.

Hope you can make it, OM!
Our final destination, KRDM, is a very strange airport indeed. If you get off the runway you'll likely need afterburners to taxi or even move the aircraft. What a pain.....anyway. Be aware.
