Event details

This Weeks Flight on 17th June 2020 is something different and requires fast hands-on flying at very low altitude. We find ourselves in Wales (no, not Jonah), Wales UK. Anyway, the RAF does some of it's low altitude flying here called “Mach Loops”. We depart RAF Valley (EGOV) and fly approx. 45nm to the circuit which itself is about 34nm in circumference. It is suggested to do a practise run at first at about 200 kias and then do a 2nd circuit as fast as you can survive. If you survive return to RAF Valley (EGOV).

NB: Wpt 12 is a very tight turn to the right (002*)

Flight suggested by Dan McKee YMA555

Scenery Suggested: Orbx GB TE South is excellent for XP11   NB: The plan starts in Orbx TE Central (which is also recommended) however the scenery for the loop is part of Orbx South

RAF Valley EGOV required even if you have Orbx GB above because Orbx does not have a 3D version.

Aircraft Suggested: You can use any fast aircraft you choose 200kias -300kias or faster if you dare. The following are suggestions: Whatever aircraft you choose, make sure you enter the correct Multi-player ICAO when logging into Vatsim. 

Cirrus SF-50 is a default Laminar and is a default CSL in Bluebell.

TB Epsilon (Socata) military trainer use CSL for Tucano in Bluebell with ICAO TUCA

Eurofighter Fairly small download and use CSL in Bluebell with ICAO EUFI

F35a Fairly small download however no CSL so just use ICAO EUFI (will show a Eurofighter)
