Anglian Flight Centres sponsors yakdisplay.com for 2008

(Issued Apr 2008)

Anglian Flight Centres are proud to announce the sponsorship of yakdisplay.com during 2008; the otherwise well know trio of Nigel, Debs and G-BXJB (the Yak52). All three perform at airshows and displays both locally and further afield. As part of the sponsorship, the Yak will be based at Earls Colne, and is sign-written with the clubs name and logo. The club gets promoted by Debs on the ground as part of the display commentary - our aim is to get more people air-borne with Anglian Flight Centres! As a result, you'll be seeing much more of the aircraft, especially at weekends - which are now pretty much filled with display bookings throughout the summer. Keep your eyes glued to the club notice board for opportunities of cost share flights in the Yak - something you can put in your logbook as PU/T since Nigel holds a Class Rating Instructor rating!
