What will the next Event be?

<< < (2/7) > >>

EHM-E4S:
well, We could do the the Island one in the DC-3?

EHM-1199 Philip:
The island one sounds like it has potential but it would be even better in a plane kitted out with floats ... yeah I think sea-plane fun would be cool.

EHM-1199 Philip:
More serious thoughts - how about Amy Johnson's flight from Croydon, UK to Darwin, AUS? The original bird was Gypsy Moth but maybe we could allow one of the other Class 1 or VFA planes.

EHM-1703 Philip:
Yeah I like the DC3 too, but wouldn't mind a go in something else also.....

This may be disregarded as it may have political undertones, but how about something like the "Berlin Air Lift". For those that haven't heard of it, this was the process of supplying food, coal and  fuel to West Berlin during the Russian blockade. (The planes were nicknamed by the locals "Rosinenbomber" or "Raisen Bombers" in English ) Between June 26 1948 and September 30th 1949, 278,228 flights were made and 2,326,406 tons of food and supplies were delivered to West Berliners. I don't know how this could be made in to an event but as it was the largest single air operation ever performed it may poinient. Just an idea

EHM-E4S:
I don't thik it matters when It comes to politics. This is just for fun. We're not going to get into trouble, so we could do something like that, but I'd prefer something a bit more foreign than Europe.
