The MOST INTERESTING Airfield in the COUNTRY.

Fun places to visit with a Private Pilots License. Today we're going on a short flight to one of (if not the) most interesting airfields in Europe. Made famous during World War 2 as a fighter base for the Supermarine Spitfire and as the home base of the Memphis Belle movie (1990) RAF Duxford is now just EGSU Duxford Airfield and owned and operated by the Imperial War Museum. There's so much to see at Duxford including the prototype Concorde 101, the Vulcan, classic British airliners and so much more. Duxford is also home to the American Air Museum in Britain, showing B17 Bomber, the F15 Eagle and the SR71 Black Bird along with over a dozen more classic American aircraft. https://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford https://www.americanairmuseum.com/ So join me today as I take you for a quick tour of some of the exhibits at this amazing airfield in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside. My name is Terry Kent and I am a General Aviation PPL private pilot operating out of North Weald EGSX about 12 miles to the north east of London in the UK. Short Field is my channel focused on the lighter side of General Aviation including flight and airfield reviews, equipment unboxing and review plus all things private pilot related. I use various cameras to record my videos including GoPro and Insta 360 and stills and edit them in Adobe Premiere Pro, I am an animator as well and often use animations to describe situations more clearly I use Blender and Adobe After Effects for these. I always attempt to post my videos in the highest possible quality, normally 4k. I fly a 2011 Pipersport two seat single engine aircraft that is also known as the PS28 or SportCruiser in the USA (America) it is know under the FAA as an LSA or Light Sport Aircraft and can be flown on a very basic license. In the UK it is a Part 21 airplane which requires a full licence but it's generally cheap to run, affordable maintenance and great value for money. It cruises at 100 to 105 knots and has superb short take off and landing or STOL capabilities. I visit farm strips, back country and short airfields, some of them dangerous and I try not to crash :-), as well as international airports and try to learn something new every time I fly. I fly VFR and IFR as well as visual and instrument approaches.
