Flite Fest UK

[SteveH]

Sorry if this comes across a bit selfish or if something like this already exists that I’m not aware of but here goes:

Could the UK Family organise Flite Fest in good ol’ Blighty ?

Logistics will be a nightmare:
Location (no idea on what it would cost to hire an airfield or if a club wants to host it 🤞🏼)
Supplies (thinking a group pot we all donate to to get a massive order from Flite Test to cutdown delivery cost per item)
Advertising (anyone good with social media out there to spread the word and drum up support)

What UK Flite Fest?

It would be great if flitetest would focus more at Europe. Regarding their products and yes also flite fest. If they would host it somewhere in Europe I would definitely go.

I wouldn't say FT is rich per se, but the company that owns FT (Lauren International) does an estimated $35M annual revenue. 😲

Last I heard, they struggled to make profit. How do you make a small fortune in aviation? Start with a large fortune. I thank Lauren Intl for not being a primarily profit driven company that happens to dig flying foamboard and allowing and encouraging zany. Btw 35 mill isn't a pot load of money anymore, kinda 5 minutes profit for the big boys
