Sambro Flying Super Hero Action Flyerz, Ironman

Product Information

On the dual frequency, we dial up Sandown and copy their arrival details to save time on the RT later – there are already a few aircraft in the circuit. After dinner together at a restaurant in downtown Fairbanks, Rob takes us home and presents us with his own bar – Cloud 9 – a large, covered counter in his garage, decorated with all sorts of aviation paraphernalia. Tomorrow I have to fly to Galena, a small town on the Yukon River, in a DC-6. You could fly up in a small plane. There are still two places left. And then you could stand right next to the runway and take a picture of the DC-6 approaching . What do you think?” We like to route inland on the return to Kent, following along the edge of the towering South Downs, while occasionally swooping a little lower over the steep-sided valleys. We are home in 1hr 25min, before most people are having their breakfast.

He directs us to create a grid with one column for the different flaps position, one for the stall warning activation, and a final one for the actual airspeed, and says, “today, we are going to be test pilots.” And that’s the next mistake. At least, it is if you do it without gloves. The icy metal of the ladder and hull sends a searing pain into my hands. A big television hangs in a corner. Rob turns on a video, showing the transfer of a former Everts Air DC-6 to Norway.

On board is the Norwegian, Thomas Waerner, winner of the Alaskan ‘Iditarod’, the toughest sled dog race in the world, together with his 24 huskies. The 145hp of the O-300 performed well in the cold morning temperatures. We initially remained in the pattern for an assessment flight before climbing to altitude for the stalls and slow-flying exercises.

The first flight of the day was going to be dedicated to performing stabilised approaches and spot landings. We also discussed how to aim for a spot using an imaginary ‘rifle sight’ and make precise landings every time. By precise, we are talking about hitting a marked line on his runway! Always cross a ridge at a 45° angle so that you can escape away from it in the event of being unable to clear the top due to turbulence or downdraughts.

I then take a few photos of the unloading, marvel at the amount of oil under the engines and climb into the aeroplane. This copy should match the race card. Both are managed by Webmasters. Please submit your updated sponsors, titles,and datesto them. Captain Rob Everts was already floating in with his DC-6 – and we were still a good 250 metres away from the agreed spot for the photo. So where does the name ‘Spamfield’ originate? It all came about because the PFA Rally at Cranfield was cancelled in 2001 due to foot and mouth disease, so some wag came up with the name, and thought it might be a good idea to hold a similar event on the Isle of Wight, but for microlights.

I only had time to stay for one day, but that was enough to change my perception of CC. He is a great host and an even better cook. Outside in his little oasis by the pool, he cooked some of the best ribs that I have eaten in my life. And over several cold beers, he shared the details of his life. For one week a year Oshkosh becomes the busiest airport in the world, accommodating averaging a take-off and landing every 30 seconds, often with simultaneous arrivals to various runways. Rob Everts shows us a DC-6 simulator. “It still works. Must be pretty unique. But we don’t actually use it. It’s more of a curiosity,” he says. Outside the north hangar there are still a number of snowbound and decommissioned aircraft, including a DC-4 and a DC-7. But primarily DC-6. Then there is the bustling harbour at Cowes with its massive ex-Saunders Roe seaplane hangar, Queen Victoria’s Osborne House, numerous sandy beaches, towering cliffs around Ventnor and the gently rolling downs inland – it is still Hampshire after all.General handling over, it’s time to head to Duxford for circuits. Andy is going to demonstrate the first three-pointer, and then it’ll be my turn. I learned to fly at an integrated school on DA-40s: simple, nosewheel aircraft with an engine control unit, so the journey to flying older, tailwheel aircraft has been full of learning curves. OK, SkyDemon refused to play ball, stubbornly repeating that our ‘subscription had expired’… OH NO IT HADN’T! Another aeroplane, a DC-6, bears the likeness of Howard Hughes, a pioneer aviator whose life was celebrated in the 2003 film The Aviator , starring Leonardo DiCaprio. For those three days in the Bush-Air classroom, I wasn’t going to be alone. My wingmen would be Keith Watts, from Tennessee, a professional race car driver instructor who owns a Cessna 172 – and Kirk Robertson, a dentist from Flagstaff, Arizona, who brought his 182 to Kidwell. You have the option to use your own aircraft for training or choose between the 172 or 170B available from Bush-Air.
