Kirkwall to Fair Isle

Post by RAF_Quantum »

Hi Guys,

Making my way up to the Shetlands now with an unplanned night-stop at Fair Isle.

Fair Isle in the distance and just started my descent from 2000ft

Speed decaying nicely and getting lined up

Image
Set up nicely for landing

Image
Port engine was running a little hot so mechanic is towing me off the runway

And has dropped the cowlings for a quick look. I'm out of hours so am waiting for transport to take me to a local B & B

I'm enjoying my little tour of the Scottish Isles and will be flying north to Sumburgh next and then on to Tingwall.

Happy flying.

Rgds
