pmccarthy Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 i am considering attending this event on this Sat or Sun. However, their website is very confused and incomplete and i can't find any details of a fly in. Last time I went there was a Notam limiting access times and I know on Sunday they use the main runway for car time trials. Does anyone know whether there is a best time to fly in and out, on either day?
