The Elders Flight 2024 – An Elderly Aviation Experience
The Elders Flight, organised by Felix Gosher, was held at the Air Force Mobile Deployment Wing on Saturday, July 6, 2024. It was an eventful day, featuring everything from aerobatic displays to business jets as part of this year’s Elders Flight event. The Elders Flight 2024 was a fantastic success, bringing joy to many elderly participants and offering stunning opportunities for aircraft photography. Below are some images I captured during the day.
