Destination Roma Fumicino

Looks great a1... if im lucky i might be able to come along 8-)

I'll be there in my new Cessna 152. No autopillock so I have to fly it all by hand. And type messages to you at the same time. And drink my Saturday evening beer. And do some other things too probably. Don't expect me to land in one piece.......

Crash (still typing English while having too much beer)

I should be able to make this one. An ice cold beer and the purr of piston power in my ear....

If we were flying to Ciampino I would have been to both airports in real life..

Rather interestingly just south of Fiumicino is the ancient Roman port of Ostia, which anyone who has done CLC book 4 will be familiar with

Ostia, with a 737 on approach to Fiumicino visible in the distance


I might be able to make it

Oh, just realised that a new series of Doctor Who starts tonight at 7...so I might not come

Looking good tonight...;)...!

It's only about 100 miles, so I will wheel out one of my trusty C152's NPI New Plymouth Aero Club fitted out with a nice Bendix-King radio stack, so the Nav-Aids will come in handy...>>>>
