northernscum Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Is the G&T included in that? Bring your own. I don't think customs are too rigorous on that flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I did it a few years ago; it was brilliant. Take off from Westray was pretty much straight off a cliff (I'm fairly sure he didn't bother with the runway) & the pilot was brilliant. The flight northwards was full of locals but coming back just me & my daughter & the pilot gave us a mini tour of the islands from 600 feet up, dipping the wings to show us things, then a pilot's eye view of Kirkwall runway. Along with doing a parachute jump it's my all time top flying experience. I took a video of the flight but I don't know how to post it, but it really was a brilliant experience.

Better than 9 (nine) free G&T's on your flight home from Tbilisi?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Col Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 more than enough time to join the mile high club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 more than enough time to join the mile high club... On that flight it would be more sort of the 100 feet high club & you've only got about 30 seconds at cruising altitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
