After a few 'hops' flight testing - with various pilots, including Pittnuma and Simon - whilst flying up the UK, the Two Tigers Tour really 'took off' with a flight from Glasgow to Stornoway. This first leg was flown by TT001 and TT002. Second leg from Stornoway to Vagar had more fliers join the tour. To keep tour legs and information available, this Crew Room has a flight planner board showing all legs done, and planned dates for future legs.
Asides from Raven and Timbo (in the Memorial Flight aircraft), there have been some great efforts put in to ensure the tour runs smoothly. Check out the Flight Log to see what happened to who...
