In order to raise funds for the North West Air Ambulance, Threshold.aero are holding a nightshoot at City Airport Manchester/Barton on 14th October.

Presently, four aircraft have confirmed they will be attending, below, and we are in conversation with a number of other aircraft owners in order to secure additional participation.

G-BLPG Auster J.1N Alpha (As '16693', Royal Canadian Air Force colours)
G-BURR Auster AOP.9 (As WZ706)
G-HUEZ Hughes 369E

Aircraft will be lit for the duration of the event, with engine runs where possible.

Tickets, priced at £21.25, are available here.

Ticket booked today. I tried on Thursday but the site seemed to be down. I'm looking forward to my first nightshoot already.
Something I should have asked before booking but I didn't want to miss out, how many tickets are planned to be sold?.

We believe this is the first time this aircraft has attended a nightshoot, and we'd like to thank the owner for taking the time out of his busy schedule to bring the aircraft over for the evening.

There's still some places left, so book now! https://www.threshold.aero/event/evening-city-airport

Another aircraft confirmed, and this one is a bit of a shock even for us!

Barton-based Yakovlev 52, G-LYFA, will also be present at the event. Will it run engines? Well, that'll be a nice surprise for those of you coming on the night! ;)
