Just a quick update. I plan to do it Friday 1st of July, Saturday and Sunday. It will take 3 days, One day to get to the Start point, the task itself, and another day to get home after the trip. However if the weather is not suitable, then we will plan to do the flight on the following weekend. I am...

3 Airfields along the intended route have given permission for us to land, have a break and refuel if needs be.
Polish up those two strokes guys.

Hello everyone, Waiting for a bank holiday will be tough, realistically we will need about 3 days for this challenge, does anyone have a problem with taking a day off work and we can therefore just pick a weekend in or around the first weekend in July when we will have the long evenings. If it suits...

That's a great idea Kevin. Last year I bought a new unlaminated map, and bought some small pink circular stickers.

Hello Every one, I was planning to do the Malin to Mizen marathon on the June Bank Holiday weekend. However I have recieved a message from Gerry Snodden in Newtonards. There is a full 3 day long Flyin weekend in Newtonards on that weekend, a 60th Birthday bash for the Airfield. So I will be going to...

Hello All, I am just putting together an idea of organising a weekend over the summer for NMAI members to meet up and do the Malin to Mizen Head flight in one day. Then of course off to the pub for a few pints afterwards. Of course for anyone who fly a CTSW or C42 this is a piece of cake. But I am l...

The NMAI Challenge Trophy will be brilliant craic over the Spring , Summer and beyond. I picked it up and so far it still resides at our strip. Details , co-ordinates and photo's of my raid last Sunday are on the NMAI Forum.

Who will be brave enough to steal it next?

Fantastic, well done Harry. Congratulations and best of luck with your future flying. I started flying properly when I was 30, would have loved to have started at 15.
Enjoy

Damien.

"NMAI challenge trophy" I believe has been captured and moved to Crossmolina in Co. Mayo. Michael Tolan has it, but not for long.

Hello HedgeHopper, I found Trevor Thom's book 7 was a great help, it is well written and goes through everything which came up on my exams. I did my RT Course a few years ago in Belfast International. However I know that there has been a lot of work done between the NMAI and the IAA over the past fe...
