FSC Weston 2011

Well, it really has been all systems go here in sunny Weston today. The hangar has been buzzing with the sound of a number of flight simulators, including a display by the Virtual Red Arrows whose virtual pilots from across Europe met online to create flying formations on one big screen in our hangar.

We have also had visits from Polo Aviation, flying their JetRanger G-BEWY, and a police helicopter, the Eurocopter EC135 and air ambulances from the region. More visits and pleasure flights expected tomorrow!

Now, it is time to start preparing for an evening of disco-70's style. Flares at the ready.....

Museums At Night

The Helicopter Museum has announced the theme for this year's Museum At Night event; the Vietnam conflict.

The event will be held over the weekend of 14th/15th May when visitors to the museum will be able to meet G. I’s in authentic period uniform care of several local re-enactment societies who will be supporting the event. The museums very own UH-1H “Huey” helicopter will also be opened up to the public for two days only for visitors to climb inside the cockpit of a military aircraft that actually experienced combat in the Vietnam War, and if that was not enough there will be over 40 flight simulators of various shapes and sizes in the hangars for visitors to 'fly'.
