Big 6-0 for PFA Scots

THE PFA's Scottish contingent celebrated the association's 60th anniversary last month with an inter-strut fly-in at Fife Airport.

Over 30 aircraft flew in from all over Scotland, with a couple of planes also arriving from south of the border.

The Best PFA Certified Aircraft, as voted for by visitors, was Joseph Garcia's Zenair Zodiac. Justin Kennedy took the title for the NavEx competition, in his Europa, G-ZTED.

A gusting crosswind did put a stop to some of the other planned competitions, but the inter-strut shield was awarded to the East of Scotland group, run by Ian Gibson. The Strut, which was also responsible for the event, covers Fife, the Lothians and the Borders.

Festivities ensued, with a barbecue and the launch of a StarShip hot air balloon.
Plans are underway for a repeat event next year.
