✈️Father-Son Flying Adventure: Circuits, Near Misses, & An Airbus Encounter! North Weald EGSX ✈️

Описание: Join me and my special "1st Officer," my son Jacob, for an action-packed flight out of North Weald (EGSX)!
​This edit captures our trip east over Southend Airport (EGMC), where we got a taste of real-world air traffic control. Watch as we navigate:
​ATC Clearance: Getting the green light to transit Southend's busy Class D airspace.
​Airborne Evasion: Having to quickly alter course to accommodate a large Airbus airliner taking off! 😮
​Circuit Chaos: A last-minute avoidance loop on final approach back into EGSX to keep clear of other traffic.
​It was a very windy day, and you can hear the excitement (and the buffeting!) on the radio comms. A true test of stick-and-rudder flying with my favorite co-pilot.
