East Midlands MD 530F Test Flight

Featured Replies

The MD 530F is one of my all time favourite helicopters and a blast to fly in real life, it's an extremely agile and thrilling machine!

This morning I decided to take my brand new Milviz MD 530F around PILOT'S new Leicestershire Aero Club in the East Midlands.

Leicestershire Aero Club is a small GA airfield just east of the city of Leicester.

The airfield dates back to 1942 when the RAF first used it.

There is a training centre for pilots at the airfield, my MD 530F is waiting for me in the hangar that houses all the helicopters of a training school.

Some old B & W photos in the reception area show the airfield in much earlier years.

The hangar doors can be opened using SODE.

Some student pilots discussing their training, I think, didn't want to eavesdrop.

The scenery is packed with details and features PBR materials.

The MD 530F handles just as expected, it's a great day for a short spin around the airfield.

Time to give those visitors at the observation area something to talk about!
