asthecrowflys Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hello everybody, new here, found this forum via another aviator pal who owns a Long EZ. I own a Cessna 172, 1964 vintage with manual flaps and 6 cylinder Continental. I keep her on a small grass strip in Norfolk, UK, called Felthorpe. We have two runways, 23/05 and 33/15. Both are quite short, around 450m, and are within controled airspace for Norwich International Airport. I also fly a De Haviland Chipmunk. Terrain around here is real flat and surrounded by coastline. Look forward to posting. Asthecrowflys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many moons ago (1972-75) I attended the University of East Anglia in sunny Norwich, so I know the area (or used to know it anyway). I remember the whole county was very flat, as you say. Look forward to reading your posts! Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
