Commencing tomorrow, Thursday 01NOV12, AirSource is proud to present it's next event - Jean Batten's Footsteps.
In 1936, at age 27, Jean Batten, from Rotorua in New Zealand, became the first person to fly from England to New Zealand. Arriving 11 days and 45 minutes after her departure from Lympne she landed in Auckland and her time was to remain a record for many years.
The DC3 cruise will follow in the steps of this pioneering aviatrix, in an air cruise adventure on board the mythical DC3, one of 10655 built before, during and after WW2.
Enjoy panoramic breathtaking views from 6500 feet as we travel through 15 countries from Great Britain to New Zealand. Rediscover the pleasure and adventure of travelling, where the journey becomes as exciting as the destination itself.
There are 19 flights in this tour. The event runs until 31DEC12.
First in, first served. Please try to fly the flights in order (JB1-JB19) and fly a Douglas DC-3 or some similar vintage aircraft.
Flights must be recorded using MyAAS.
