Dear Member,

The first Tuesday Social of 2024 is less than a week away.

TUES 6 FEB – WHAT’S THE EXPED ALL ABOUT?
Despite the short days, it is time to start thinking about an exciting way to expand your flying horizons. A look at the 15 years of HAC UK and Overseas Expeditions. What’s the aim? What’s the planning? How can YOU expand your flying in a safe, challenging but controlled environment? Even if the 2024 Exped is not for you, an insight into high-end flight planning during the first 2024 meet with fellow aviators definitely is! Food and drink available. 1900hrs pre-drinks. 

For details of the Tuesday Social plan and the overall HAC events for 2024, please find attached the HAC Calendar. Get the dates into your diary now!
