My CJ afternoon

[G-HEVN]

One of my ex instructors had parked up his CJ at Oxford airport (he flies for NetJets three days a week) and he asks, would we like to go an have a poke around it? Does a bear____ in the woods? There were slightly too many of us to jump in a plane for the 10 mile trip from Enstone to Oxford, so we all crammed into a car instead...


That's me in the driving seat


Ali, my other instructor


The lads in the back (Ben in the high vis is the real pilot)




A bigger XL was parked next to us, and yes, someone was doing aeros in the overhead!



Ben decides to show us what's kept in the nose storage locker...


... snacks!!!!!


The XL leaves, leaving the apron empty apart from us, the OAT training fleet and a fuel tanker!


Time to put the covers back on


and go home

Awesome G-HEVN, did you get the engines started?

[G-HEVN]

No (you need ATC clearance for engine start at EGTK), but I did the touch drill for it..

Great photos, thanks for sharing them with us. What a great opportunity!

[Alex]

Great shots, so when is he flying it into Rotorua?

What a great experience that must have been HEVN- wish I was there too

The photos of the British winter make me feel a little homesick- even here in the sunny Southern Hemisphere... feel like flying down to Shoreham one day and snapping some photos for me?
