Title: Enniskillen (St Angelo) Airport - 03-08-08
Post by: casper on August 02, 2008, 06:07:58 PM
Will be passing St. Angelo to morrow and will be calling in to take a few snaps. Other than the airshow last year I've never been to it so looking forward to it.

I emailed them at the start of the week just to make sure it was ok to take photos around the place. Got a very nice reply saying that it wasn't a problem and if I need any assistance just to give the tower a call :) Can't wait.

Really enjoyed the visit today. Only stayed about 20 minutes but boy was it busy - there was a number of aircraft doing circuits and touch and goes. Here's a few photos

It's a Bank Holiday down South tomorrow - may get a few visitors at EGAB,as Mondays are fairly quiet - apart from a few movements in and out of Sloane Helicopters. 8)

That should be it now - you should be able to create personal galleries as well.
