Hi Captains

Does anyone of you got a flightplan of the Mach Loop in Wales?

Some help would be awesome and appreciated!

Hi,

Not sure about this, but there is apparently several routes that can be taken into the low-flying areas around the Mach Loop area.
Denoted as green arrows in the image below:

Main page for the picture is this: http://machloop.co.uk/

The area where I have seen most plane spotters stand and take snaps, is the south-western area, so Cad West and East, as well as Corris Corner. It seems most online videos are from that area too, at least that is my impression, so I sort of assume when you're thinking about the Mach Loop, THAT is the area you kinda have in mind ;)
It might be possible to search out a ready-made flight plan for the area, if not I do have something at home (at work now, the big "nothing-to-do"-day), so I could see what I have. If not, another good option, and the one I use myself, is to download Plan-G, find the area on the map, and make one yourself. Plan-G is the one I use extensively, whenever I make flight plans, at least for VFR. Can be found here: http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/

Edit: Found one here: http://www.fs2000.org/2016/01/04/fsxp3d ... ght-plans/
Haven't checked it out though, but the map preview looked good enough.

Ou!
I just saw your edit and that fs2000-limk looks fantastic, but maybe I'll have to check PlanG as well?
I can't wait to get back home and to start my pc again!

Thank you SO much!
