Welcome to the new GCCAV blog. We are a small flying group of five pilots sharing a Piper PA-28, registration G-CCAV, which is where the name comes from.
This is where we will post about our trips, from local currency flights to further afield: photos, routes flown, and the odd story from the clubhouse.

Europe

GARs, life jackets and a PPR with the flying club at EHRD. Everything that goes into our first trip to the Netherlands.
Destination

A short Sunday hop along the coast: out over the estuary, a coffee at a grass strip, and home in time for lunch.
