Important info for PILOTS attending our Elvington airshow! ✈️We have already had a great amount of pilots book into the show this year. If you are intending to fly and haven’t yet booked in, please do so ASAP to ensure you are included in the flying schedule. This not only provides you with your tickets to get in, but also registers which models you are intending to fly in our system. If you are new to the LMA or need a refresher on how to do this (including adding/ editing models on your profile), please drop the page a message and we will be happy to help.If you have already booked and want to check which models you booked in or change them, go to the “your events” page. Here you can see the shows you have booked, the models selected and the option to generate your show tickets/ passes. You can then click the “Edit” button to adjust your details or models and then re-confirm attendance.We also have some mayhem/ fun slots planned, including trade slots for Ravens/ funfighters and a J Perkins Foamy slot for any Arrows Hobby/ FMS models (e.g. marlins). So if you have one of these and would like to take part, please bring it along to the show!Night flying is also possible, so if you have any models with lights you would like to fly at night, bring these along.Keep an eye on your emails on the run up to the show (including junk mail folder) for any important show information the LMA may pass on, including info about pilot briefing times and other site info.Finally, don’t forget to provide or bring along any music requests/ files and some information about your models for the commentary team to use. Whilst they do their best to know every model type & pilot name, sometimes they do get it wrong.. so please help them out and bring some info along.Any questions, feel free to drop us an email or message the page!We can’t wait to see the many stunning models taking to the skys in just over 3 weeks time 😎✈️ ...
