ZZ190 and ZZ191 both flew today for pilot currency, what Mig? unless you mean the SU22 Fitter which was outside.

I'm surprised the Scampton based Hunters haven't been through Doncaster Airport for circuits or overshoots as it's not too far away.

Why would we use Doncaster, we operate only military registered aircraft, we have quite a choice for circuits. Softbill - I take it that was you peering through our gate during the refuelling then.

Speaking of the Fitter, can it/does it fly?

..Just a thought HHA Eng..have military aircraft here doing low approaches/circuits quite regular..including fast jets once in a while..but not enough as some days it's very quiet and large gaps between passenger flights.Regards Lowfly11

Next time we are doing some local flying I will ask our pilots to maybe make an appearance after all I was stationed there for 5 years. Finningly was a great station, enjoyed my time there.

..Many thanks again for the reply HHA Eng..would be a superb sight to see a Hunter back at Finningley...hope i'm at home if it happens..one of the perks of self-employment.Regards Lowfly11
