25th May 2009
In respect of the Catalina and Sunderland pilots based here in Fermanagh, a formation flight along the Donegal corridor will be flown at 11.00.
Come and see the seaplanes land at Harveys point on Lough Eske.
Unfortunatly the Catalina will not be attending.
All in all it still sounds like a great day out even if you cant make it by air drive to it and bring the family! The 600m runway has not been confirmed yet for anyone who wants to fly in a land plane.
