FlightNight August 2nd - Caucasus Mountain Chopper Tour!
And this time we WILL! see Mt. Elbrus!
We'll meet at 8 pm London time at ICAO: UG26 - Kutaisi West Airport. in Georgia (The Country - not the State!) Please bring the helicopter of your choice from the FGUK Hangars that can attain/maintain 140 KIAS to altitudes of 15K' for an hours duration. Take note of the speed - a lot of the first half of this will be performed at ~1000' AGL thru the valleys. So, choose your chopper wisely.
From POO, we will proceed on a direct line to GUBOR until we find/overfly the Enguri Dam and associated reservoir and then we will follow the valleys until we pop up and over significant terrain to land at URMN - Nalchik airport in Russia as our midpoint refresh and refuel destination. Route Manager is only for scenery gathering - the actual route will be much different.
After refresh and refuel, we will depart directly to ICAO - UG29 - Sukhumi Dranda Airport back in Georgia. The country, not the State.
The scenery is fabulous and we will view Mt. Elbrus on the way from midpoint airport to our final destination. So be there or be square.
